GPU upgrade If you’re a data hoarder, though, the good news is that there are two empty 2.5-inch drive bays for adding more storage. Installing some more storage should be fairly easy, even for a PC beginner. Chuong Nguyen/Digital Trends

The XPS Desktop Special Edition was a smidge behind the GeForce RTX 3080 duo, but it could easily be used for graphics design and other demanding 3D tasks. The XPS Desktop achieved competitive single- and multi-core results compared to other Intel processors on the Cinebench R23 test, earning 1,311 and 13,586 points, respectively. Like with the Geekbench 5 results, this means that the M1-powered Mac Mini performed better on the Cinebench R23’s single-core result, but Intel holds on to its multi-core performance — for now — with a margin of 42% compared to the M1 processor. Unleash the power to create: With Intel ®’s latest 11th gen, up to 10 core, 20 threads i9 processor you can keep at your most demanding workloads for even longer.

The DisplayPort (DP) is the most widely used digital interface for transmitting digital video and audio between display devices and PCs. It is good to see that the Dell XPS 8940 is featuring a DisplayPort 1.4. The post version is important if you target higher resolutions with high refresh rate. Although, ver. 1.2 is completely fine for most users, if possible, aim for the higher versions DisplayPort. Dell’s use of proprietary components may limit this rig’s appeal among enthusiasts. The tower’s compact 19-liter size also means that Dell went with a custom motherboard, so upgrades (aside from the RAM and storage) could be more difficult down the road as the system ages. 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. The Dell XPS 8940 supports Gen10 Intel Core technology. Intel released its 10th generation of Intel Core processors in 2019. This update is more significant to the company's lineup than previous generations. This is because the 10th generation is using 10nm manufacturing process. The new technology brings more energy efficient CPUs which is especially important for mobile devices. The Random Access Memory or RAM is the super-fast and temporary storage used to handle all active tasks, apps, and games that will go away when your PC turns off. The more memory your PC has, the better multitasking your PC can handle without having to reload data from slower permanent storage that includes the hard disk drive or solid-state drive.OPMERKING:Klik in SupportAssist op de vervaldatum van de garantie om de garantie te verlengen of uw garantie te upgraden.

The Dell XPS 8950 Desktop is a newer system that was released in 2021, while the Dell XPS 8940 Desktop was released a year earlier in 2020. Both systems share the same mini tower form factor that can fit a micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboard, a few hard disk drives, and a single full-height graphics card. Processor Despite a build that tops out with just an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, the XPS Desktop is no slouch. The RTX 3070 can handle the majority of 4K games you throw at it. Most gamers will do fine choosing this card, as it can easily handle modern titles. Dell outfitted our review unit with a 500-watt power supply unit that’s powerful enough to handle this GPU configuration, but tinkerers looking to upgrade to a more powerful graphics will be limited by the PSU’s rating.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. The XPS scored just over 7,300 points on our PCMark 10 test, which is in line with what you can expect from Intel’s Core i7-10700K. Performance of the XPS Desktop is lower than a system with a Core i9-10900K configuration, as expected, but higher than a rig equipped with AMD’s Ryzen 9 3950X, like Alienware’s Ryzen-powered Aurora R10 AMD Edition. The power supply’s convenient bottom location keeps the power cable from dangling. The 500-watt version in my unit is the most potent offered in the XPS Desktop, supporting up to 225-watt graphics cards for a wide range of future upgrade options.
