Now, the lineup has expanded, and you can choose to configure your PC with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, which stands as the most powerful graphics card currently available on the market. Excitingly, one of the preconfigured systems is currently on sale, offering a fantastic opportunity to own this cutting-edge technology at a reduced price.

New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell introduced the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis maintains a similar aesthetic to the 2024 R16 model but includes significant redesigns in cooling and updated components. The I/O panel has been relocated to the top of the case, and the tempered glass window now extends across the entire side panel, eliminating side vents. Air intakes are now positioned at the bottom and front of the case, promoting a positive airflow design for a cleaner interior. The internal components have been upgraded with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply to support the latest CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is currently the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Despite Nvidia's focus on software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to enhance gameplay, the RTX 5090 still achieves a notable 25%-30% performance increase over the RTX 4090 in traditional raster performance. Additionally, it comes with more (32GB vs 24GB) and faster (GDDR7 vs GDDR6) VRAM. Due to high demand, finding this GPU at its retail price is challenging, with prices on eBay ranging from $3,500 to $4,000.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has claimed the performance crown from the RTX 4090, though the generational leap is less pronounced than in previous releases. In terms of traditional non-AI gaming performance, the RTX 5090 offers one of the smallest uplifts we've seen recently. However, in games that support DLSS 4, the performance gains are substantial, albeit with 75% of the frames being AI-generated."
