Dell is offering an incredible deal: the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, boasting the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system. Most competitors have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. In fact, other Dell prebuilts featuring the RTX 5080 GPU cost over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build would likely cost as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards currently available (and notoriously difficult to find). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance increase over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. For gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance upgrade, especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
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 in February. This scarcity extends to prebuilt PCs equipped with these GPUs. Many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have increased in price, or face significant delivery delays.
