Works with Dell 8900

Review: MAXSUN GEFORCE GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 GPU. The product arrived on time, in standard bubble wrap packaging, with no damage or other issues. Got this during the Black Friday sales; Good price. I bought this GPU for a DELL XPS 8900 i7-6700K Skylake CPU (yes for 8900, NOT 8920 or 8930 or other 89xx) and I have to say it was a bit risky to think that the GPU wouldn't match but she did . It fits perfectly and does not overlap with M.2 SATA 2240 SSD (see photos). After installation, the NVIDIA software detected the GPU and updated the software automatically. I don't use this for gaming but I use DreamWeaver, Photoshop, Illustrator etc. as well as ZOOM for online college courses and a few other graphics intensive programs. I didn't have to fiddle with the BIOS or update it, it was just plug and play. It stays pretty cool in temperature. The only modification was replacing the original GPU mount with this 1030 mount. It worked fine. (see photo)
