Product Information

There are a couple limitations with this desktop. The first is that although the 500-watt PSU is sufficient for this class of graphics, upgrading the PSU for more powerful graphics will be challenging. DIYers will be limited by the available space for the PSU at the bottom of the case. But the bigger problem is Dell’s use of a proprietary 6-pin connector for power on the motherboard. This means that if you want more powerful graphics, you’ll need to resort to an external PSU and have to snake cables to the inside of the case as an inelegant workaround.

Your command center: Connect all your devices in a snap with 10 total USB ports, including four front facing ports for easy access.Dell SupportAssist Preboot (also called ePSA or PSA) diagnostics are available on Dell laptops, desktops, servers, and Windows-based tablets. Note: Depending on the graphics cards installed on the computer, the video ports on the computer may vary.

When your computer is unable to boot to the operating system even after repeated attempts, it automatically starts Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery. According to a post made by a Lenovo representative, the GPU may have competitive performance combined with power efficiency and a decent price. Though the XPS Desktop’s case passes the visual test, touching it reveals that it could be of higher quality. The front panel is hollow-feeling plastic, while the rest of the case is the kind of thin rolled steel found on even the least-expensive aftermarket cases. More-premium materials would be appreciated at this price.

Speaking of the power supply, the 500-watt unit included isn’t technically up to spec for what Nvidia requires for the RTX 3070, which is 650 watts. I haven’t noticed a drop in performance as a result, but you are wading into uncertain waters outside the recommendations of Nvidia. For a prebuilt desktop, that’s a bit strange.

Next up is a pair of CPU-crunching tests: Cinebench R15 stresses all available processor cores and threads while rendering a complex image, while in our Handbrake test, we transcode a 12-minute 4K video down to 1080p. This is a Dell, so this is definitely more at home in an office or a campus library than an eSports tournament. That said, the higher end configurations can get you some pretty powerful hardware – up to an RTX 3070 and an Intel Core i9-11900K– so it will game with the best of them.Computer ports are the interface for connecting your PC to its peripheral devices or other PCs. The most common peripherals are keyboard, mouse, monitor, flash drive, speaker, and printer. Most of them use Universal Serial Bus (USB) as their connection to your computer. So the PC with more USB ports can connect to more peripherals at the same time. In our Metro: Exodus benchmark, the XPS Tower Special Edition averages 170 fps on low settings at 1080p, 87 fps on ultra settings at 1080p, and manages 74 fps on ultra settings with ray tracing turned on. Note: If you wait too long and the operating system logo is displayed, wait until you see the Windows desktop, restart the computer, and try again. Now we'll move on to our most workstation-savvy benchmark, SPECviewperf 13, which renders and rotates wireframe models using real-world viewsets from popular ISV apps.

Cables inside are neatly arranged — wires generally snake across the top, down the front, and flow toward the bottom, where the PSU is located. Cables are bundled together with a few tie wraps, but you won’t find elegant cable management systems like on more premium boutique builds. It’s not a complete mess, which is good. Performance processor, and 128GB of DIMM DDR4-2666/2933 memory. The Dell XPS 8940 is pre-configured with a dedicated graphics card that features either HDMI or DisplayPort output. Het systeem wordt automatisch opnieuw opgestart en werkt het BIOS bij in het beginscherm van het systeem. Nadat de BIOS-update voltooid is, wordt het systeem nog een keer opnieuw opgestart. Your computer will come preinstalled with an anti-virus program.

on Dell internal analysis using publicly available specs in August 2023 comparing maximum effective capacity for PowerStore 1200 and FlashArray //X20. Assumes average 4:1 data reduction for PowerStore, 5:1 for Pure Storage. Actual results vary. A low 120-second time allowed the XPS Desktop Special Edition to be competitive with the others.

If the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 didn't catch your eye, a new leak suggests that the RTX 4060 might prove to be an interesting option. It certainly seems like it will be better suited to cater to a wider audience.
