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

Dell is offering an incredible deal: the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, boasting the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for a pre-built PC with an RTX 5080, especially considering other brands have significantly increased prices 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 proving nearly impossible and would likely cost as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently extremely difficult to acquire). Our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review by Jackie notes that 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. However, for gamers with older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 offers a substantial performance upgrade, particularly when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial pre-orders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within the first hour of their release. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit shortly after in February. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs. Many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have seen price increases, or face extended delivery delays.
