The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Is Now Available for Just $2,399.99

Dell is offering an incredible deal: the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, boasting the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This is a standout price for an RTX 5080 prebuilt, especially considering other brands have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's other RTX 5080 prebuilt PCs cost over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is currently nearly impossible and would likely cost as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released (and incredibly hard-to-find) Blackwell graphics cards. As our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review states, while the performance upgrade over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance boost, especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs: A Scarce Commodity

The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within an hour of pre-orders opening. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit in February. This scarcity extends to prebuilt PCs equipped with these GPUs; many are either out of stock, have seen price increases, or face significant delivery delays.
