Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU Now Available Starting at $2,350

If you're in the market for a top-tier gaming PC, Dell currently offers one of the best deals on a prebuilt desktop with an RTX 5080 GPU. You can snag the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at just $2,349.99, shipped. This price point is exceptional for a high-performance system designed to handle 4K gaming at high frame rates. In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is your best bet to secure an RTX 5080 GPU without facing the steep markups often seen with DIY component purchases. Attempting to buy a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a custom build would likely cost nearly as much as this fully assembled system.

Starting this week, Dell introduces another RTX 5080 configuration. This model features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores. While it offers similar gaming performance to the Ultra 7, the Ultra 9 excels in rendering and productivity tasks, benefiting from its additional cores.

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

The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the RTX 5090, which comes with a hefty $2,000 price tag. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games supporting the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance difference becomes even more pronounced.

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 doesn't offer a significant performance leap over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance gameplay in supported titles. For those upgrading from older graphics cards seeking a substantial boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
