Starting today, Dell is offering the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This is a standout deal, especially given the trend of escalating prices for RTX 50 series GPUs since their launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 is priced over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as this entire prebuilt system.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC boasts an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The current-generation Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU features a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. It is cooled efficiently by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler, with the system powered by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series of GPUs, which are in high demand and scarce. According to Jackie's review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE on IGN, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not offer a significant performance upgrade over the RTX 4080. However, the enhanced frame rates provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation can improve the gaming experience in supported titles. For those with older GPUs looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia's AI enhancements."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial preorders for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, including the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within an hour of going live. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February but met similar demand. Prebuilt systems featuring these new GPUs have also quickly sold out, increased in price, or are facing long delivery delays.
