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

Dell's Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, is available for a remarkable $2,399.99 with free shipping. This represents one of the most competitive prices currently available for a pre-built system boasting this powerful GPU. Many competitors have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January, making this deal particularly attractive. Other Dell systems with the RTX 5080 GPU are priced over $4,000. Furthermore, securing a standalone RTX 5080 for a DIY build is proving exceptionally difficult and often costs as much as this complete system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three newly released Blackwell graphics cards (currently difficult to acquire). As noted in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, while the performance upgrade over the RTX 4080 isn't massive, the added frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visual fidelity in compatible games. For users with older GPUs seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers a compelling upgrade, especially when leveraging Nvidia's AI features.

Scarcity of RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs

The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs, specifically the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs; many systems are either out of stock, overpriced, or facing substantial delivery delays.
