The limited-edition, custom-painted Dell(TM) XPS 600 Renegade delivers to U.S. consumers an immersive gaming experience based on the industry's first dedicated physics accelerator -- the AGEIA(TM) PhysX(TM) processor.
“By bringing out the big guns for PC gamers like physics accelerators and NVIDIA's Quad-SLI graphics, Dell is definitely serious about gaming”
The AGEIA technology lets users interact with supported games in more sophisticated and realistic ways. The AGEIA PhysX processor can power real-time dynamic motion and interaction on a massive scale so games can feature large numbers of complex characters and moving objects in incredibly life-like environments. For example, instead of using traditional weapons, gamers can pull down the roof on their enemies, crushing them in a pile of collapsing debris.
"By bringing out the big guns for PC gamers like physics accelerators and NVIDIA's Quad-SLI graphics, Dell is definitely serious about gaming," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. "Dell's leadership is great for gamers and the industry, which is why Epic is showcasing our upcoming Unreal Engine 3 on Dell XPS hardware at the Game Developers Conference."
At CES Dell was the first to demonstrate the power of NVIDIA(R) Quad-SLI(TM) graphics technology on the XPS 600 Renegade. Customers using four NVIDIA GeForce(R) 7900 processors on two controllers now can play complex 3-D games at the highest video settings, without sacrificing realism or on-screen performance. They can run applications at 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, for example, on the included Dell 3007WFP 30-inch widescreen flat panel monitor for a truly high-definition experience.
Dell also gives gamers the extra speed they crave by overclocking the latest Intel(R) Pentium(R) 965 Extreme Edition processor up to 4.26 GHz, backed by specialized XPS support technicians via phone, e-mail or chat.
For enthusiasts who demand the latest technologies, Dell also today added the physics controller as an option for its XPS 600 gaming and XPS 400 high-end multimedia desktops. Games and applications designed to take advantage of the physics technology are expected to be widely available later this year.
Starting today gamers and software developers can see the XPS 600 Renegade in action at Epic Games' and NVIDIA's booth, and the XPS 600 at AGEIA's booth, at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, Calif.
The XPS 600 Renegade system is available in limited quantities with the Dell 3007WFP 30-inch flat panel monitor starting at $9,930. The XPS 400 and 600 desktops with discrete physics controllers are priced at $1,239 and $2,039, respectively. For additional product details, visit www.dell.com/xps.
