Built to Meet Your Current and Future Needs.
Dell Precision Workstations are highly scalable, with a variety of available options allowing you to customize them to your specific needs and prepare for future expansion. Dell Precision is capable of supporting multiple internal and external hard drives, a wide range of external 5.25″ devices (e.g., DVD + RW1 drive, CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive, etc.) and USB Memory Keys, as well as an assortment of PCI expansions and graphics choices.The Dell Precision workstation graphics program is designed to provide customers with lifecycle and image stability from entry Professional 2D thru the Mid-Range 3D graphics cards. In addition, Dell provides the latest and best performing graphics technologies from the price/performance mid range 3D thru high-end 3D graphics card segments. Dell continually evaluates the newest graphics technologies to ensure the most relevant graphics cards are selected for qualification, certification and factory installation in Dell Precision Workstations.
Dual-Graphics Options
Optional dual-graphics configurations allow two graphics cards to work together in the Dell Precision 690 1KW chassis to help improve performance and quality. A high-end NVIDIA® SLITM ready configuration is available, delivering an application-transparent scaling of performance. Several quad-monitor solutions are also available, from 2D to high-end 3D, allowing the use of multiple monitors to help expand available desktop space.
The Dell Precision 690 is equipped with up to two 64-bit Dual or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5100 or 5300 series processors for a total of up to eight execution cores in two sockets. Intel® Xeon multi-core processors can deliver a substantial performance increase over single-core Intel® processors for multi-threaded applications and in multi-tasking environments. Intel Xeon 5100 and 5300 series processors are based upon a revolutionary architecture – Intel® CoreTM micro-architecture – with a shorter pipeline, lower clock speeds and faster front side bus are designed to deliver higher performance levels than previous generation Xeon processors.
Multi-core processors allow your system to split tasks between separate processor cores so that they can share the load and get more done in less time. The processors can do more work per second, allowing you to run multiple or multi-threaded applications (DCC rendering and Analysis applications) with noticeably quicker results.
The Energy Star-compliant Dell Precision Workstation is extremely energy efficient by pre-setting the BIOS to go into low power state after 30 minutes of inactivity. This high level of power management, combined with Power Factor Correcting power supplies, flat panel displays, Intel Core 2 Duo Processors and Dell’s thermally efficient BTX chassis design, can help conserve your resources and the earth’s resources at the same time.
The dual-graphics solutions on the Dell Precision 690 are fully tested, factory installed and supported by Dell.
