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 powerful new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 shipped. This is a standout price for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially as other brands have been increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other option for an RTX 5080 prebuilt is priced over $4,000. Attempting to find a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost you as much as this entire system.

Update: Due to recent tariffs, Dell has also faced price pressures. With the ongoing stock issues surrounding the Blackwell cards, expect prices for Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs to rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards currently on the market, yet they are extremely 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 may not be the best upgrade – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI features."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
