Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now $2,399.99

Starting today, Dell is rolling out an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now featuring the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, available for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This is a standout offer, especially given the upward trend in pricing for RTX 50 series prebuilts since their launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest RTX 5080-equipped system jumps to over $4,000, making this deal exceptionally attractive. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is a challenge, and you might end up spending as much on the GPU alone as you would on this fully equipped system.

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

For $2,399.99 at Alienware, you can grab the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, which is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU and a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. It comes with 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake lineup, boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, with 20 cores and a 30MB cache. The system's cooling is handled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and it's powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply, ensuring it can handle the demands of high-end gaming.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards, and as Jackie noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, "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 need – its performance advantage over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though the enhanced frame rates from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve visuals in compatible games. However, if you're running an older GPU and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial batch of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out in the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with these new GPUs are either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
