DELL OptiPlex i7-6700 16GB DDR3 512GB GT 1030 24" gaming PC

Dell OptiPlex i7-6700 Gaming Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex small form factor desktop combines an Intel Core i7-6700 quad-core processor at 3.40 GHz with 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a 512 GB SSD. A dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 graphics card with 2 GB video memory drives the included 24 inch monitor via HDMI or DVI. The system ships with Windows 10 Pro, a USB Wi-Fi adapter, wired keyboard and mouse, plus a remote-controlled RGB front panel.

Entry-level gaming and general use

The GT 1030 handles titles such as CS:GO, Minecraft, DOTA 2 and Fortnite at modest settings, making the PC suitable for casual gamers and everyday productivity. Buyers who want more graphics memory, a newer GPU architecture or higher frame rates in demanding titles should look at systems with more powerful graphics cards. The slim chassis limits internal expansion, so users needing multiple add-in cards or additional drive bays will need a larger case.

GT 1030 2 GB graphics card

The single specification that decides suitability is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 with 2 GB of video memory. It provides basic hardware acceleration and entry-level gaming performance, but it cannot deliver high frame rates or advanced graphical features found on larger cards. If your workload needs more GPU power, this is not the right system.
