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

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 shipped. This is an unbeatable price for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially considering that other brands have been steadily increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other prebuilt PC with an RTX 5080 GPU is priced over $4,000. If you're considering building your own DIY PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this entire system.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been affected by tariffs. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards, which are currently in high demand and hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be worth the upgrade – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a great choice, especially if you're interested in Nvidia’s AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

Prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are either out of stock, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
