Inspiron 3880 Graphics Card

1650 wont work not enough power. And its itty bitty not standard EPS12v 24 pin power supply,  Optional 260W power supply is needed to support ANY card.  The standard 200W power supply is too small.

Ok, thank you for the information. I have some questions, 1. Does my Inspiron 3880 have a 200w or 260w power box? I don't know it because in the manual it says 200w or 260w power box. 2. What is secure boot and is it okay to disable it? 3. Since there is a PCI-E port in my motherboard, will any other graphics card that takes 75w or less work with my desktop because one PCI-E port can give up to 75w of power. Once again take you so much for helping me and I appreciate your help. I am a bit new to electronics so I am sorry if I sound dumb.

Inspiron 3880 graphics card upgrade - Dell Community

I'm using this card in my Inspiron 3880 with a 200w power supply

Hey I just bought a Dell Inspiron 3880 and I was wondering what the best GPU (For Gaming)that could work with it would be.

To clarify, both of those cards you mentioned will work with the inspiron 3880 w/ 200 psu?

Hi I just wanted to share I found this on reddit.

The factory upgrade for the Inspiron 3880 is a 260 watt "bronze" model. I don't have the model number, but hopefully a helpful redditor will chime in with it. However, when searching the part number for the 200 watt PSU that came in my machine, I noticed ebay sellers selling it as an Optiplex 3060/5060/7060 PSU.

Light bulb moment: it's a shared part. Indeed, take the front bezel off and our Inspiron 3880 chassis looks almost identical to the tower version of those machines. So, I search instead for Optiplex 3060 PSUs. That leads me to the K38XP, a 360 watt model that also happens to have a 6-pin graphics card power plug. Hot diggity!

I haven't tried this yet but would be very interested to hear if any of you savvy computer folks can confirm this works.

Will the GTX 1650 work in the Inspiron 3880 with a 650 watt PSU?
