Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC with RTX 5080 GPU Now $400 Off

Dell currently offers an exceptional deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC, starting at just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is particularly compelling for gamers looking to dive into 4K gaming with high frame rates, thanks to the well-engineered and warrantied system. However, an even more attractive option has emerged. For just $100 more, you can upgrade to a configuration featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and double the memory, bringing the total to $2,499.99.

In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to secure an RTX 5080 GPU without facing inflated prices. Attempting to purchase this GPU separately for a DIY build would likely cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system. This Alienware deal stands out as a rare exception to the general trend of marked-up prebuilts.

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

The RTX 5080 ranks as the second-highest-end Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. According to Jackie's review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
