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 latest GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 shipped. This price point is exceptionally competitive, especially given the upward trend in pricing for RTX 50 series GPUs since their launch in January. At Dell, the only other prebuilt option featuring an RTX 5080 is priced over $4,000. For those considering building their own system, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is a challenge, and the cost could easily match or exceed that of this complete system.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been affected by recent tariffs. With the supply of Blackwell cards remaining tight, prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to increase soon.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC boasts an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake series, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. The system's thermal management is handled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and it's powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The GeForce RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards currently on the market, and as our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review by 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 leap over the RTX 4080, although the enhanced frame rates from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve gameplay in supported titles. However, for those with older GPUs looking for a notable performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out in the first hour, with the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 leading the lineup, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Similarly, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs have quickly become unavailable, either due to stock depletion, price increases, or extended delivery times.
