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

Starting today, Dell is offering an incredible deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 shipped. This price represents one of the best values currently available for a prebuilt system with an RTX 5080, especially as other brands have been increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with this GPU is over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU is nearly impossible, and it would likely cost as much as this entire system.

Update: Like other manufacturers, Dell has been affected by tariffs. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, prices on Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache.

The RTX 5080 is one of the three new Blackwell graphics cards that have been released but are extremely hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes that, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the best upgrade – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older GPUs looking for a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, particularly if you're interested in Nvidia's AI features."

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 first releases included the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs are also facing similar shortages, with many options out of stock, increased in price, or facing extended delivery delays.
