Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 PC Starts at $2,399

Starting today, Dell is offering a fantastic deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This offer stands out as one of the most competitive prices available for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially considering the upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option featuring an RTX 5080 GPU is priced over $4,000, making this deal even more appealing. For those considering a DIY build, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this entire system.

Update: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by tariffs, and with the ongoing stock challenges for Blackwell cards, prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to increase soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards that have been released and are currently in high demand. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the best upgrade – its performance doesn't significantly surpass the RTX 4080, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can enhance frame rates in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI features."
