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 new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 shipped. This price represents one of the most competitive offers on the market for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially considering the steady price increases seen across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is priced over $4,000. For those considering a DIY build, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this entire prebuilt system.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been impacted by tariffs. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to rise soon.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache, ensuring robust performance. The system is cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and supported by a powerful 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is one of the latest Blackwell graphics cards, which have been extremely hard to find since their release. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a significant upgrade – it doesn't offer a substantial performance lead over the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a compelling choice, especially if you're interested in Nvidia’s AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to be released, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs have either sold out, increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
