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 with shipping included. This is a standout offer, particularly when you consider that other brands have been increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series was launched in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system is priced over $4,000. If you're thinking about building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost as much as this entire system.

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

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

The RTX 5080 is part of the new Blackwell series of graphics cards, which are notoriously hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be worth the upgrade – its performance doesn't significantly outpace the RTX 4080, although DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance supported games. However, if you're using an older GPU and seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're interested in Nvidia's AI technologies."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial preorders for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour. The first models to hit the market were the high-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs equipped with these GPUs are also scarce, either sold out, increased in price, or facing long delivery delays.
