| Futuremark PCMark 7 And PCMark 8 |
| Simulated Application Performance |
|
When it comes to testing PCs, Futuremark is one of the better-known names in the industry. We kicked off our general compute testing with PCMark 7, which runs systems through a series of typical home and office tasks, including media playback, video processing, and some light gaming. The benchmark also tests the system's storage devices.
In the mixed usage scenario of PCMark, the XPS 27 7760 puts up strong numbers yet again. We don't have much in the way of reference data for all-in-ones with PCMark 8, so we pulled the one set of numbers we had on hand for the
ASUS Zen AiO machine. Regardless, whether the old or new version of this test, Dell's new AIO takes top honors.

Simulated Gaming Benchmark

The Dell XPS 27 isn't going to rival big, powerful gaming desktops, but if it ends up in the living room or den, it will probably be used for occasional gaming. With that in mind, we ran Futuremark's Fire Strike benchmark, which emphasizes graphics horsepower in its assessment.
Here again we didn't have other all-in-one reference systems to test, so we're comparing the XPS 27 to a few small form factor systems, some with similar platforms. Here XPS 27 can't quite catch it's sibling, the
Alienware Alpha R2 gaming small form factor PC, but it holds its own and delivers respectable scores regardless.
