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 cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This price point represents one of the most competitive deals available for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially as other brands continue to increase their prices since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the only other prebuilt option featuring an RTX 5080 GPU is priced over $4,000. If you're considering building your own PC, be prepared to spend as much on the standalone GPU alone as you would on this fully assembled system.

Update: Dell, like other manufacturers, has been impacted by recent tariffs. With the ongoing stock challenges for Blackwell cards, it's anticipated that prices for Alienware gaming desktops featuring RTX 50 series GPUs will rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of the new Blackwell graphics cards that have hit the market, yet they remain difficult to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be worth the upgrade – it doesn’t offer a significant performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on leveraging Nvidia’s AI technologies."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial release of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within the first hour of preorders. The launch included the two top-tier GPUs: the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. The same scarcity applies to prebuilt gaming PCs with these new GPUs. Systems that were available at launch are now either sold out, have increased in price, or are facing extended delivery delays.
