Dell might have the best price we've ever seen for a prebuilt gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. Right now you can get a Dell XPS gaming PC with this coveted GPU for only $2294.99 shipped after a 10% off coupon code "10OFFCLEAR". RTX 4090 GPUs are currently difficult to find at MSRP; right now, a 4090 GPU on Amazon sells at a $300-$500 markup. If this is the GPU you really want, you will definitely save money by getting this prebuilt PC like this one instead of going the DIY route.
Dell XPS GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming PC for Only $2294.99
This Dell XPS gaming PC features a liquid cooled Intel Core i7-13700 CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Intel Core i7-13700F boasts a max Turbo clock of 5.2GHz with 16 cores, 24 threads, and a 30MB cache. The "F" in 13700F simply means that the chip doesn't have onboard graphics (iGPU). That won't matter if you have a discrete GPU, which in this case is the RTX 4090.
The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. No other video card, either from NVIDIA or from AMD, comes close. As a reference, the RTX 4090 is about 110% faster at 4K gaming than the already impressive RTX 3080. It's about 60% faster than the previous king, the RTX 3090 Ti. If you're still not convinced, check out our RTX 4090 FE review. The 4090 is also the consumer card of choice for stuff like machine learning or AI image generation apps like Stable Diffusion. NVIDIA cards are generally more optimized than AMD cards with these kinds of apps and the amount of VRAM is of the highest priority; the 4090 has 24GB of GDDR6X VRAM, more than any other consumer NVIDIA card.
The Dell XPS Chassis Is a Tried and True Design
The Dell XPS is a nice, understated looking chassis. It's compact and it doesn't boast any crazy designs or lighting that might screen "gamer" (if you're looking for one of those, check out our best prebuilt gaming PCs of 2024). It also has a simple yet effective cooling design; a 120mm intake fan idraws in air through the perforated front grill and a 120mm exhaust fan pushes it out back after it passes over the CPU. A perforated side panel also allows air to be sucked in by the graphics card's fans and a bottom mounted 1000W power supply serves as additional exhaust. This config is upgraded with "performance liquid cooling", which means that the typical CPU heatsink fan combo is replaced with a 120mm AIO cooler. So is all this cooling enough for an RTX 4090 GPU? I assume that if it couldn't handle it, Dell wouldn't have offered the option in the first place. I do own an RTX 4090 GPU and I will say that the cooling on these are overbuilt with beefy heatsinks and plenty of fans moving lots of air. As a result they don't run nearly as hot as previous generation high-end GPUs I've owned in the past. In fact, I run my rig in a smaller case than the XPS.
