Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU Now Available Starting at $2,350

Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on a prebuilt desktop equipped with the powerful RTX 5080 GPU. You can snag an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at just $2,349.99, including shipping. This price point is a steal for a high-quality, warrantied system that excels at delivering smooth 4K gaming experiences at high frame rates. In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing the inflated prices often seen in the DIY market. Attempting to purchase the GPU alone for a custom build could cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system.

Dell is now rolling out a second RTX 5080 configuration, featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores. While this setup offers similar gaming performance to the Ultra 7 model, it's a superior choice for rendering and productivity applications that benefit from additional cores.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 ranks as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the RTX 5090, which retails for $2,000. It boasts a performance increase of 5%-10% over the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games that leverage the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a compelling upgrade – the performance leap isn't significant over the RTX 4080, although DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
