XPS 8960, ASUS Geforce GTX 1660 Super OC not working
Hi,
I have a new XPS 8960 and am trying to replace the graphics card that came with it (1650 Super 4 GB). I bought a ASUS TUF Gaming 1660 Super OC 6GB GDDR 6. I have put it in and can't get it to work? Any thoughts or remedies? Is their a driver I can download to get it to work. I know its not a big upgrade and I am not a gamer. The card was on sale and 6 GB ddr 6 beats out 4 GB.
Thank you for any help in advance.

Put in your Dell OEM graphics card and boot into BIOS and disable Secure Boot. That is what is keeping your 3rd party graphics card from working properly . . . as mentioned in the first response. After Secure Boot is disabled, power down and switch to the new graphics card.

Did you turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS? The 1650 and 1660 use the same driver. What type of problem are you experiencing? Also did you plug in the 8 pin connector for power to the card?

I didn't go into the BIOS at all , I assumed it was plug and play. All i did was take out the 1650 super and put in the 1660 super. When I do there is no video signal/ picture . I put the 1650 back in and everything is fine.

When I disable secure boot to install a new 1660 super graphics card will it do anything else to the computer?
