Dell's Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, is available for a remarkable $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents an exceptional value for an RTX 5080-equipped pre-built system, especially considering the escalating prices from other manufacturers since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's only other RTX 5080 pre-built option commands a price exceeding $4,000. Furthermore, sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 for a DIY build is currently proving exceptionally difficult and likely just as expensive as this complete system.
### Alienware Aurora R16: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, RTX 5080, and More
$2,399.99 at AlienwareThis high-performance 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 cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, utilizing 20 cores and a substantial 30MB cache. Cooling is handled by a reliable 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, and the entire system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.
The RTX 5080, one of three elusive Blackwell graphics cards currently available, delivers a significant performance boost for gamers with older hardware, especially when leveraging Nvidia's AI enhancements. While not a massive upgrade over the RTX 4080 for those already owning high-end cards, the added performance from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhances visual fidelity in compatible games.
The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs, with many systems now either unavailable, significantly more expensive, or facing lengthy delivery delays.
