Just a heads up, if you're going to be adding a GPU you will also need to change out the PSU as its only a minimal 180W one that comes with the PC. Even if you go with an older 3060 GPU, it'll require at least a 550W PSU.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The XPS 8960 includes: 1 × PCIe x16 slot – for the primary GPU. 2 × PCIe x4 slots – for additional expansion cards (e.g., sound cards, network adapters).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a PCI x16 slot, which is best for a dedicated GPU, but you are limited to GPUs that can be powered by the included 180W PSU, unless you replace that as well. Otherwise, you need a low-power, PCIe-slot powered card, under 75W. Best options for this limitation are the NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5 variant), GTX 1650, RTX 3050 6GB, or AMD RX 6400.
