Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Now Available from $2,399

Starting today, Dell is offering an exceptional deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This price point represents one of the most competitive offers available for a prebuilt system featuring the RTX 5080, especially as other brands have been incrementally increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option for an RTX 5080-equipped PC is well over $4,000. For those considering building their own system, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU alone can be as costly as purchasing this entire prebuilt system.

Update: Like many other companies, Dell has been affected by recent tariffs. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are anticipated to rise in the near future.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC comes equipped with 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, features a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It is cooled by a powerful 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is among the three new Blackwell graphics cards released, and they are notoriously difficult to find. 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 doesn’t offer a significant performance leap over the RTX 4080. However, the additional frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the visual experience in supported games. For gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially if you're keen on utilizing 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, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within the first hour of availability. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February, facing a similar fate. This scarcity extends to prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these new GPUs; many systems listed at launch are now out of stock, have increased in price, or are subject to extended delivery delays.
