Easy to access: The optimized size of the desktop required an innovative approach to maintaining tool-less access to the internal components. Once the side is removed you gain easy access to the chassis, so you can expand and upgrade seamlessly.

Volg de instructies op het scherm om de installatie te voltooien. Het volgende wordt aangeraden door Dell bij het installeren: There is a total number of 9 USB ports available on the Dell XPS 8950 Desktop, one less than the Dell XPS 8940 Desktop that has 10 USB ports. On top of the number of USB ports, the type and version of each USB port are also necessary for determining how fast it is. 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.) 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. Every XPS Desktop badged with Creator Edition is fully equipped with the creative tools you need to make magic happen faster and better, so your art can be pushed to the edge.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.

Performing a hard reset usually fixes many problems and also drains any residual power that maybe causing the problem.

Performance headroom: The XPS Desktop PSU options allow for better performance upgrades during the life of your system. The 360W PSU supports a 65W processor plus up to 150W graphics.

The RTX 3070 manages to handle Battlefield V, which is a demanding title, with relative ease, punching above 80 fps in Ultra settings at 4K. Performance jumps to 140 fps if you scale down to 1440p resolution. With Battlefield V, Nvidia’s newest midrange offering outperforms the prior-generation flagship, as the RTX 2080 Ti only managed to squeeze 76 fps in 4K, while this year’s RTX 3080 performed at 97 fps. Dell XPS 8940 is a gaming computer and comes assembled with a dedicated graphics card.
