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

Dell is offering a fantastic deal on an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for a pre-built PC with an RTX 5080, especially considering the price hikes many other brands have implemented since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Other Dell systems with the RTX 5080 GPU are priced over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is incredibly difficult and would likely cost as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently extremely difficult to obtain). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance increase over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. For gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance upgrade, 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 RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs; many are either out of stock, have seen price increases, or face significant delivery delays.
