New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell introduced the revamped Alienware Area-51 at CES 2025, featuring aesthetic and cooling enhancements along with updated components. The new design moves the I/O panel to the top of the case and expands the tempered glass window to cover the entire side panel.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 stands as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Despite Nvidia's focus on software enhancements, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology, the 5090 offers a 25%-30% performance boost over the RTX 4090 in traditional raster performance. It also comes with 32GB of faster GDDR7 VRAM compared to the 4090's 24GB GDDR6. The RTX 5090 is scarce at retail and can be found on eBay for $3,500-$4,000.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially taken the performance crown from the RTX 4090, though the generational leap in non-AI gaming performance is modest. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 provides significant performance enhancements, with 75% of frames generated by AI."
