The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Is Now Available for Just $2,399.99

Dell is offering a fantastic deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents an exceptional value for an RTX 5080-equipped pre-built system, especially considering the price hikes other brands have implemented since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Dell's only other RTX 5080 pre-built option costs over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build is currently proving extremely difficult and likely to cost as much as this complete system.

The cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a substantial 30MB cache.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently difficult to acquire). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance increase over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the added frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. For gamers with older graphics cards, however, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance upgrade, especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs: A Scarce Commodity

The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs; many are either out of stock, have seen price increases, or face significant delivery delays.
