Yes, but you'd likely need a new power-supply to give enough power and connections to power the 2nd card. Be careful though: I bought a SEASONIC 850FX 80 modular P/S, and while it fits, the power plug is in the wrong orientation for the rear plastic cover. (It's CLOSE... But juuust too far below the lip of the 5675's rear case cover.) I had to grab the older Seasonic 900 watt modular P/S that I had in my XPS8500, as it's power plug is oriented perfectly for this PC. The new 850 is now in my XPS8500, so no real problem for me, but it would have sucked if I didn't have my 2nd Seasonic to try. I have the 1800X version, which I used the 2nd X4 slot for dropping a PCI-E (QTY-1) NVME & (QTY-2)SATA SSD drives onto. (The on-board NVME slot in my version, (Pre-Christmas 2017) doesn't allow full NVME speed, so my Samsung 960, wasn't achieving full read & write speeds (Only about 80% of stated performance.) The speed was GREAT compared to SATA speeds, but I do 4K video, and the added drive speed means more in my case. A 2nd video card doesn't help improve 4K rendering or playback at all. One last note: The main PCI-E slot in my version of this PC does not report ability above 8X mode performance. The new units MAY differ, as mine doesn't have USB 3.1 10Mb/s which these new listings, (today is Sunday, 1/21/2018) report them having, only 5Mb/s. So the 5675 motherboard NVME port speed restrictions may have changed. Or it could be that the BestBuy description is incorrect...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There's enough space in the system to add another card. I'd say it would be overkill, but yeah, you can do it. Just have the bridge which should come in the Cards box.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not real sure about this. Being as how I have only been using the system for only a couple of weeks I haven't researched this. Also, the graphics card it comes with is absolutely Awesome!! My picture quality is unbelievable. The graphics card has 8 GB of memory too which makes it even better.
