The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Is Now Available for Just $2,399.99

Dell's Alienware Aurora R16: An RTX 5080 Gaming PC for Under $2,400

Dell is currently offering a significant deal on its Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the most competitive prices available for a pre-built system with this powerful GPU, especially considering the price increases seen across other brands since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Other Dell pre-builts with the RTX 5080 command prices exceeding $4,000. Furthermore, sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 for a DIY build is proving exceptionally difficult and costly, often matching or exceeding the price of this complete system.

Alienware Aurora R16 Specifications:

• Price: $2,399.99 at Alienware
• Processor: Intel Core Ultra 7 265F
• Graphics Card: GeForce RTX 5080
• RAM: 16GB DDR5-5200MHz
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Cooling: 240mm AIO Liquid Cooler
• Power Supply: 1000W 80PLUS Platinum

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F boasts impressive specs, including a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, 20 cores, and a 30MB cache. The system's robust power supply ensures stable performance.

The RTX 5080, one of the elusive Blackwell graphics cards, offers a substantial performance boost for gamers with older hardware, particularly when utilizing Nvidia's AI-enhanced features like DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation. While the upgrade might not be as impactful for owners of recent high-end cards, it still delivers noticeable improvements.

The Scarcity of RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs

The initial release of Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs, specifically the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, resulted in immediate sellouts. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these cards, many of which are either unavailable, overpriced, or facing significant shipping delays.
