Dell is offering an incredible deal: the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for a pre-built PC with this powerful GPU. Many other brands have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January, making this offer even more attractive. Consider this: Dell's other RTX 5080 pre-built systems cost over $4,000. Furthermore, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is incredibly difficult and likely to cost as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently extremely difficult to acquire). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance increase over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the addition of DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhances visuals in compatible games. For gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance upgrade, especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs: A Scarce Commodity

The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit shortly after in February. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs. Many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have seen price increases, or face extended delivery delays.
