Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now $2,399.99

Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 shipped. This is one of the most competitive prices available for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially given the upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series launch in January. For comparison, the only other prebuilt option at Dell with an RTX 5080 GPU is priced well over $4,000. Additionally, sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build can be just as costly, making this a stellar deal for gamers looking to upgrade.

The RTX 5080, part of the new Blackwell graphics series, is currently in high demand and hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant leap in performance over the RTX 4080. However, the enhanced frame rates provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can enhance gameplay in compatible titles. For gamers with older GPUs seeking a substantial upgrade, the RTX 5080 delivers impressive performance, particularly when leveraging Nvidia’s AI technologies."
