Q: QuestionThis was asked before, elsewhere but no solid answer was given. I noticed it has a "display port" instead of an HDMI. I'm pretty sure the GTX 1080ti has HDMI on it, but is it behind the case? It's nowhere to be seen in the photos of the back.

Asked 7 years ago by Cosmos.

• A:Answer My computer came with graphic card GTX 1080ti 11gb and it has 3 display ports and 1 HDMI on it.

Q: QuestionJust a few questions, How many watts is the power supply? I see that it is air cooled, does it have any 120mm fans and how many? Are any of the USB ports the new type C and are there any 3.0 and/or 3.1 USB type C ports?

Asked 7 years ago by Cinn.

• A:Answer It has one fan on top and one fan in the back but it also in fact has water cooling for the processor even though it says air. When you receive the package it states that it is water cooled and I have verified that It is. Also, it has one Type C on the top and most of the USB's are 3.1. Not sure about the ps wattage, forgot to look last time I had it open.

Q: QuestionWhy is system, at this price point, not offered with the 7700K or 8700K and water cooling. Gamers who spend this kind of money will want to overclock. For $100 more, Best Buy offers another system with the 7700K with CPU and GPU water cooling included.

Asked 7 years ago by Hoss.

• A:Answer With the GtX 1080 Ti the CPU isn't going to make that big of a noticeable difference. plus I picked it up when it was on sale for $1900.

Q: QuestionIf the CPU on this is water cooled, I assume it's the AIO type? Or will it need a filling every 6 months or yearly.

Asked 7 years ago by RacerTarquin.

Q: QuestionI have noticed that it did not come with Optane Memory installed. Would this be of benefit or was it left out on purpose. Love this machine!! What Optane would I get if this is a benefit.

Asked 7 years ago by WhimsicleWarrior.

• A:Answer It has a solid state drive. I have had both the R7 with Optane and no SSD and the R7 with no Optane but with SSD. For me, the SSD boots up quicker and offers a lot more space on it than the Optane. Not having Optane should not be a considering factor for your purchase if it has SSD.

Q: QuestionHow many 1080Ti are in this system ? The picture looks like it shows 2 1080ti gpus ? Can you please tell me thanks :)

Asked 7 years ago by davhouck.

• A:Answer The pics that you’re seeing from bestbuy are generic pics from dell website, it come only 1 gpu 1080Ti but 1 gpu it’s more than enough to meet your game needs. Beside there’s not much games support dual gpu 1080Ti, you better get good outcome with single gpu for now.
