New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025, featuring a chassis design that echoes the 2024 R16 system but with significant aesthetic and cooling enhancements. 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 the need for side panel vents. Air intakes are now positioned at the bottom and front of the case, promoting a positive airflow design that helps keep the interior less dusty. The internal components have been updated with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply to support the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 stands as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Nvidia has focused on software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to enhance gameplay performance, yet the RTX 5090 still offers a 25%-30% increase in hardware-based raster performance over the RTX 4090. Additionally, it comes with more (32GB vs 24GB) and faster (GDDR7 vs GDDR6) VRAM. Due to high demand, the RTX 5090 is challenging to find at retail price, often selling for $3,500-$4,000 on eBay.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially surpassed the RTX 4090 in performance, though the generational uplift is less pronounced than in previous iterations. For traditional non-AI gaming, the RTX 5090's performance increase is modest. However, in games that support DLSS 4, the technology delivers substantial performance gains, albeit with 75% of the frames being AI-generated."
