Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis design echoes the 2024 R16 model but includes aesthetic enhancements, improved cooling, and updated components. The I/O panel has been relocated to the top of the case, and the tempered glass window now covers the entire side panel, eliminating side vents. Instead, air intakes are positioned at the bottom and front of the case, promoting a positive airflow design that helps maintain a cleaner interior. The system also features a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more robust power supply to support the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs.

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

The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only outclassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It offers a performance increase of about 5%-10% over the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games that support the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap is even more pronounced.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the upgrade you're looking for – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is modest, although the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you appreciate Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
