New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

At CES 2025, Dell introduced the revamped Alienware Area-51 gaming PC. While maintaining a similar aesthetic to the 2024 R16 model, it features notable upgrades in cooling and components. The I/O panel has been relocated to the top of the case, and the tempered glass window now extends across the entire side panel, eliminating the need for side vents. Air intakes are strategically placed at the bottom and front, promoting a positive airflow design that keeps the interior cleaner. The internals have been updated with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply to support the latest CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 reigns supreme as the top consumer GPU available. While Nvidia has focused on enhancing software, AI capabilities, and DLSS 4 technology to boost gaming performance, the RTX 5090 delivers a 25%-30% increase in raw raster performance over the RTX 4090. Additionally, it features an upgraded 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a significant improvement over the 24GB GDDR6 in the RTX 4090. Due to its high demand, the RTX 5090 is scarce at retail and can be found on eBay for prices ranging from $3,500 to $4,000.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has claimed the performance crown from the RTX 4090, though with a more modest leap than previous generations. In traditional non-AI gaming, the uplift is minimal, but DLSS 4 offers substantial performance improvements in compatible games, with the caveat that 75% of the frames are AI-generated."
