Alienware Aurora R16 with RTX 5080 GPU Launches at $2,350

Dell currently offers one of the most competitive prices for a prebuilt desktop featuring the RTX 5080. The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC is now available starting at $2,349.99 with free shipping. This is an excellent value for a well-designed, fully warranted system capable of high-frame-rate 4K gaming. In today’s market, purchasing a prebuilt PC is the most practical way to get an RTX 5080 GPU without paying inflated prices. Buying just the RTX 5080 for a custom build would likely cost nearly as much as this complete, ready-to-use system.

Beginning this week, Dell is offering a second RTX 5080 configuration. This model features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 CPU, which can boost up to 5.6GHz and includes 24 cores. Gaming performance will be similar to the Ultra 7 model, but the extra cores make it better suited for rendering and multitasking in productivity applications.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 is the second-best graphics card in the Blackwell lineup, only behind the $2,000 RTX 5090. It delivers roughly 5–10% better performance than the previous-generation RTX 4080 Super, which has been discontinued. In games that support the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation—a feature exclusive to Blackwell GPUs—the performance advantage becomes even more noticeable.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already use a high-end GPU from the last couple of years, upgrading to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not be necessary—it doesn’t significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does improve visual fluidity in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a major performance uplift, the RTX 5080 delivers—especially if you're interested in Nvidia's AI-driven features."
