Dell is currently offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 equipped with the powerful RTX 5080 GPU, starting at just $2,349.99 with shipping included. This price point is exceptional for a high-performance gaming PC that's designed to deliver smooth 4K gaming experiences at high frame rates. In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC like this is the most cost-effective way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing the high markups seen in the DIY market. Attempting to purchase an RTX 5080 GPU separately for a custom build could cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system.

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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the RTX 5090, which retails for $2,000. It's 5%-10% faster than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super.

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 justify an upgrade – the performance lead over the RTX 4080 isn't significant, though the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance increase, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements."
