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

Starting today, Dell is rolling out an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, priced at just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This price point is a steal, especially when you consider that other prebuilt systems with the RTX 5080 are hovering around the $4,000 mark. Since the RTX 50 series debuted in January, prices have been on an upward trend, making this offer from Dell even more appealing. If you're thinking about building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible without spending as much as you would on this entire system.

Update: Tariffs have recently impacted Dell, similar to other manufacturers. With the supply of Blackwell cards showing no signs of improvement, expect prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs to rise soon.

This Alienware Aurora R16 is a powerhouse, outfitted with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a swift 1TB NVMe SSD.

The RTX 5080, one of the latest Blackwell graphics cards, is notoriously hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "For those with recent high-end graphics cards, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not offer a significant leap in performance over the RTX 4080. However, the enhanced frame rates provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can enhance gaming experiences in supported titles. If you're upgrading from an older GPU and looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial batch of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The lineup started with the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs with these GPUs are also in short supply, either sold out, pricier, or facing long delivery delays.
