Hardware diagnostic tests can identify any potential hardware issues with the components like the hard disk drive, memory (RAM), chipset, audio or sound card, graphics or video card, and so on.

In more graphics-intensive titles, like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the RTX 3070 struggled a bit more due to the GPU’s more limited hardware capabilities and the fact that this card ships with just 8GB of GDDR6 RAM compared to the 10GB of GDDR6X memory on the flagship RTX 3080. This game played at 74 fps in 1440p and just 48 fps in 4K with the RTX 3070 with the game’s quality set to Ultra. On a system equipped with an RTX 3080, the game never dipped below 60 fps in Ultra settings at 4K. Gamers who play titles with more challenging graphics rendering will want to stay at 2K 1440p or UWQHD resolution.

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. 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 command center: Connect all your devices in a snap with 10 total USB ports, including four front facing ports for easy access. Als u verbonden bent met internet, meldt u zich aan met een Microsoft-account of maakt u er een. Als u geen verbinding hebt met internet, maakt u een offline-account.I work full-time as a technical analyst for a business software and services company. My hobbies are digital photography, fitness, two-stroke engines, and reading. I’m a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology. The SATA port is one of the places where you can connect a stora gedevice. The Dell XPS 8940 comes with three SATA port(s). Not enough SATA ports might limit your options for additional storage devices. Think about your use case and decide if the SATA ports provided by this model will be sufficient. The Dell XPS 8940 comes with ten USB ports in total. Having more USB ports is always better, but also pay attention to the version of those USB ports. Higher version ports support faster transfer speeds. It is nice to see that the model has a USB 3.1 port. This interface is using 10Gb/s connection and it's very useful when you transfer big files to external drives. Video ports I appreciated that ports are divided between the front and the rear, which helps with both ease of access and cable management. Nadat het BIOS is geüpgraded, kunt u het BIOS niet downgraden naar versies ouder dan 2.2.0. BIOS-downgrades zijn beperkt wanneer er beveiligingsupdates en belangrijke oplossingen zijn met eerdere versies die van invloed zijn op de functionaliteit van het systeem.

The Core i7 is more than capable of handling most tasks I threw at it, and Dell’s K-series variant delivers strong performance at a more affordable price. Similar to PCMark 10, the Core i7-10700K achieved a single-core score of 1,355 points and a multi-core score of 9,034 points. These scores mean that the i7 trailed the Core i9-10900K and the i9-10900KF processors, but by a very negligible amount.

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. Our first two benchmarks in this section measure the gaming performance potential of a PC. In UL’s 3DMark, we run the Sky Diver (lightweight, capable of running on integrated graphics) and Fire Strike (more demanding, for high-end gaming PCs) subtests, both DirectX 11-based. Unigine Corp.'s Superposition is the other; it uses a different rendering engine to produce a complex 3D scene. Yes. It’s not for die-hard PC enthusiasts, but it’s a fantastic desktop tower for the average shopper.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.

We use the built-in 1080p benchmarks in Far Cry 5 (at its Normal and Ultra presets) and Rise of the Tomb Raider (at its Medium and Very High presets). Far Cry 5 uses DirectX 11, while we flip Rise of the Tomb Raider to DirectX 12.Now let’s put the XPS Desktop Special Edition on the test bench. I pitted it against the following towers for our benchmarking comparisons.
