Doesn't look like it has the option to add a dedicated video card.

And the integrated HDMI is 1.4
Maybe add a 2gb dedicated card if not using for gaming?

Why can't they do HDMI 2.0 on these type of builds. Surely it can't add that much cost to the setup. At least give me a display port option. I need 4k@60hz.

Exactly why I've been ignoring all the Black Friday deals. I need raw CPU power and nothing else, why is it so farking difficult to use HDMI 2.0!?!

Unfortunately probably not cost effective to build a pc these days with a motherboard that has HDMI 2.0 onboard? Although maybe not too bad as the GPU are what costs the most these days.

Actually I just looked again at the specs and it says this:

1 DisplayPort® 1.2 (for computers shipped with integrated graphics card only)

So it sounds like this would come with dp 1.2 which should do 4k@60hz correct? Not really sure if dp or hdmi is better but this is interesting. I've also been looking at possibly getting a XPS that someone has removed the GPU out of and is just selling the pc with integrated graphics.

According to Wikipedia DP 1.2 does 4K at 60hz. The integrated graphics work up to 4k60hz. I'm still waiting until next year though. I don't make much and it's a new computer or rent. I wish you luck though. May your temps be low and your frame rates be high.

I've been waiting for the i5 one with the 1660 super graphics to come back at $650 but I feel that one is over. With the amex offer and cashback, worked out as the best bang for buck. Here's hoping for it to come back soon

eh, most of these Dell deals are good just because of the current inflated cost of the GPUs. Buying a system without a GPU kinda kills any deal.

If not using it for gaming, why add a card at all? Onboard video should be fine for even light gaming. Anything except modern games or semi professional graphics work.

This may be the least expensive i7-11700-based desktop we've seen, but the configuration with GTX 1660 SUPER, 16GB DDR4 and 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD for $850 was an undoubtedly better value.
