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 equipped 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 nearly impossible; you'd likely spend as much on the GPU alone as this entire system costs.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (and incredibly difficult to find). As Jackie noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, "If you already own a high-end graphics card from the past couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be necessary—its performance advantage over the RTX 4080 is relatively small. However, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance visuals in compatible games. But for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers, especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs: A Scarce Commodity

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of pre-orders opening. The top-tier GPUs, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, were released first, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti 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.
