Dell XPS 8940 Tower Desktop, 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10700, 16 GB DDR4 Memory, 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6, Windows 10, Black

Product Information

We’ll start with POV-Ray 3.7 for CPU assessment. This test uses ray tracing to render a three-dimensional image. (Note that it doesn't use the ray tracing features of Nvidia's GeForce RTX-class GPUs; this is purely CPU-focused.) Het systeem wordt automatisch opnieuw opgestart en werkt het BIOS bij in het welkomstscherm van het systeem. Nadat de BIOS-update voltooid is, wordt het systeem nog een keer opnieuw opgestart. 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 The motherboard has its own HDMI and DisplayPort, but since the desktop ships with its own GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, you’ll want to use either the line HDMI or three DisplayPort video outputs to connect an external display. Upgradability In our 3D Mark benchmark, the XPS Desktop’s Fire Strike score of 25,213 points and Time Spy score of 12,489 points place the RTX 3070’s graphics capabilities ahead of the prior generation RTX 2080 and within striking distance of the more premium GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. This is quite the feat given the RTX 3070’s midrange position in Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series lineup. For comparison, the RTX 2080 scored just above 11,500 points in the Time Spy Test, while the RTX 2080 Ti scored in the mid-13,000s.

Regulated cooling: Our engineers designed this system to include voltage regulator cooling with select processors to ensure system optimal performance by maintaining adequate airflow over the VR components. They also selected an optimal location for the placement of the M.2 SSD to maximize performance and rigorous, proprietary testing ensures that all system components are kept cool, even under the most intensive loads. Prepared for your future needs Endlessly expandable: When it comes to work or passion projects the more memory your system has, the better. Enjoy plenty of storage with capacity for one 3.5" HDD plus two 2.5" NB drives plus one internal optical drive. Three PCle slots let you add in sound cards, graphics cards, and more as you customize your machine. Dell XPS 8940 supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo card with the on-board M.2 2230 (Wi-Fi/BT) slot. The card contains a Wi-Fi module that supports various Wi-Fi standards, as well as a The final test in this section is photo editing. We use an early 2018 release of Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud to apply 10 complex filters and effects to a standard JPEG image, timing each operation and adding up the totals. This test is not as CPU-focused as Cinebench or Handbrake, bringing the performance of the storage subsystem, memory, and GPU into play. Computers are my lifelong obsession. I wrote my first laptop review in 2005 for NotebookReview.com, continued with a consistent PC-reviewing gig at Computer Shopper in 2014, and moved to PCMag in 2018. Here, I test and review the latest high-performance laptops and desktops, and sometimes a key core PC component or two. I also review enterprise computing solutions for StorageReview.Despite the small size, Dell was able to squeeze a full-length GPU in our review unit. The graphics card occupies both the PCIe x16 slot and the expansion slot for dual-width graphics cards — but upgrading to anything beyond an RTX 3070 may be futile. The desktop can also accommodate additional PCIe x1 and PCIe x4 cards. Effortless multitasking: Enjoy smooth Adobe filter performance or robust layers of preset sample libraries in your music production with up to 64GB of memory.

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. 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. are easy to install. However, these PCs sometime have proprietary elements like the power supply unit, the chassis or the power connector, which can make it difficult for users Refocus your workflow with snap assistant. Or Switch between desktops for greater organization of open windows. Yes, Dell XPS 8940 is a home and gaming machine pre-assembled with dictated graphics card. You can easily play games and upgrade it with better hardware components.
