Dell is offering a fantastic deal: the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, boasting the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents one of the best prices currently available for an RTX 5080 pre-built system. Most competitors have significantly increased prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. In fact, Dell's other RTX 5080 pre-built PC costs over $4,000. Finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build would likely cost as much as this entire system.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards currently available (and notoriously difficult to find). Our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review notes that while it doesn't offer a massive performance jump over the RTX 4080 for those already owning high-end hardware, the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation significantly enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers with older GPUs seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 delivers—especially when utilizing Nvidia's AI features.
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs: A Scarce Commodity
The initial release of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, specifically the top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out almost instantly. The RTX 5070 Ti followed suit shortly after in February. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs. Many systems initially listed are now out of stock, have seen price increases, or face extended delivery delays.
