Dells website does not seem to show 2 X16 slots to allow the dual card setup.

While you can get a card at x1 it would cost a premium and not be worth it.

Why do you need 2 cards? Are you looking to run more screens?

Each connected to a separate monitor? Sure. But how many PCIe X16 slots does that Dell motherboard have? Usually only one.

Thanks, I was just wondering, because my friend has a 530s with a card, so I was thinking about getting him another.

You will have to take care when replacing cards in some of those systems. If the case size and power supply are not up to the task, you can have more issues than not.

The Dell 530s is a slimline case. It will only handle 1 x low profile gfx card.
