Dell, Alienware RTX 4090 Gaming PC Now $2,850

While the GeForce RTX 4090 belongs to the previous generation before Nvidia's Blackwell 50-series GPUs, it still maintains its position as one of the most powerful graphics cards available - outperforming both the RTX 5080/4080 Super and AMD's RX 9070 XT/7900 XTX. Only the upcoming RTX 5090 delivers better performance, though acquiring one at MSRP will prove exceptionally challenging.

With the RTX 4090 now discontinued, finding available units has become increasingly difficult. Fortunately, Dell currently offers two prebuilt systems featuring this powerhouse GPU at competitive prices: the Alienware Aurora R16 ($3,299.99) and Dell Tower Plus ($2,849.99). These represent the most affordable RTX 4090-equipped systems currently available, as major competitors like Lenovo and HP have already stopped carrying 4090 configurations.

$3,299.99 at Alienware

This premium gaming rig pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor (5.3GHz turbo, 20 cores) with the flagship RTX 4090 GPU, backed by 16GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. While configurable up to an Ultra 9 285K CPU, the base processor already delivers excellent gaming performance since higher resolutions are primarily GPU-dependent. The system features robust cooling with a 240mm liquid cooler and reliable 1000W 80PLUS Platinum PSU.

Dell's more understated Tower Plus delivers similar core specs to the Aurora at a better price point. While sharing the same base configuration (Ultra 7 265F/RTX 4090/16GB RAM/1TB SSD), we recommend the $100 CPU upgrade to the Ultra 7 285K which includes an enhanced air cooling solution rated for 125W TDP instead of the standard 65W model. Like its Alienware counterpart, this system also utilizes a 1000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

How Does the RTX 4090 Compare to Current GPUs?

The RTX 4090 remains Nvidia's most powerful 40-series offering, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 in raw performance. This graphics powerhouse handles 4K gaming effortlessly, delivering 60+ fps even with max settings and ray tracing enabled (especially with DLSS support). While the card can struggle with path tracing implementations, this feature remains primarily for benchmarking rather than practical gaming. For most users, the RTX 4090 delivers all the performance needed for cutting-edge gaming.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Review by Chris Coke

"The RTX 4090's massive size and premium price tag pale in comparison to its industry-leading performance. While comparisons remain limited to previous-generation cards currently, its combination of brute-force hardware and DLSS 3 capabilities makes even its $1,599 MSRP justifiable for the unmatched framerates it delivers."
