Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now Available from $2,399

Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptionally competitive, especially when compared to other prebuilt systems featuring the RTX 5080, which often exceed $4,000. For those considering a DIY build, securing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU alone can cost as much as this fully equipped system, making this offer a standout choice.

Update: It's important to note that Dell, like other manufacturers, has been affected by recent tariffs. With the supply of Blackwell cards remaining constrained, prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC

$2,399.99 at Alienware

This Alienware Aurora R16 model is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, paired with the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system's cooling is handled by a robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and it's powered by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply, ensuring stable performance under heavy loads.

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series, which has been in high demand and difficult to find since its launch. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant performance increase over the RTX 4080. However, the enhanced frame rates from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve visuals in supported games. For gamers upgrading from older GPUs, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you leverage Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial release of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February, but similarly, stocks have been depleted quickly. Prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these GPUs are also scarce, with many systems either out of stock, increased in price, or facing extended delivery delays.
