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

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible 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 is a standout price in the current market for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially considering the upward trend in prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. If you're looking for another prebuilt option from Dell with an RTX 5080, you'll have to shell out over $4,000. And if you're thinking about building your own PC, good luck finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU; the cost could easily match the price of this entire system.

Update: Tariffs have impacted Dell as well, just like other manufacturers. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding Blackwell cards, we can expect prices on Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs to increase soon.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU and a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, paired with 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake series, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It's kept cool by a robust 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is supported by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards that have been notoriously difficult to find. In our review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, Jackie noted, "If you already own a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not be a significant upgrade – it doesn't offer much of a performance boost over the RTX 4080, though the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do 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 eager to leverage Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
