New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell showcased the revamped Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025, featuring aesthetic and cooling enhancements along with updated components. The new design shifts the I/O panel to the top of the case and replaces the smaller side panel cutout with a full tempered glass window. This design change eliminates side panel vents, introducing air intakes at the bottom and front of the case to promote a positive airflow system, resulting in a cleaner interior. The internal components have been upgraded with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply to support the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 stands out as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Nvidia has focused on enhancing software, AI capabilities, and DLSS 4 technology to boost gameplay performance. Yet, the RTX 5090 still achieves a 25%-30% increase in raster performance over the RTX 4090. It also features 32GB of faster GDDR7 VRAM compared to the 4090's 24GB GDDR6. Due to its high demand, the RTX 5090 is hard to find at retail prices, often selling for $3,500-$4,000 on eBay.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially dethroned the RTX 4090 in performance, though the generational leap is modest compared to previous releases. In traditional gaming without AI enhancements, the RTX 5090 offers one of the smallest uplifts in recent years. However, games supporting DLSS 4 see significant performance improvements, although this means accepting that 75% of the frames are AI-generated."
