Dell's Alienware Aurora R16: A Steal at $2,399.99 with RTX 5080
Dell is currently offering a fantastic deal on its Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, featuring the coveted GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, for just $2,399.99 with shipping included. This represents exceptional value, especially considering the inflated prices of similarly equipped pre-built systems from other manufacturers since the RTX 50 series launch in January. Other Dell systems with the RTX 5080 GPU command prices exceeding $4,000. Furthermore, securing a standalone RTX 5080 for a DIY build is proving nearly impossible, often costing as much as this complete system.
This Alienware Aurora R16 boasts impressive specs:
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Meteor Lake CPU delivers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, utilizing 20 cores and 30MB cache.
The RTX 5080's Performance and Availability
The RTX 5080, one of three newly released Blackwell GPUs (and notoriously difficult to acquire), offers a substantial performance boost for gamers with older hardware. While not a massive upgrade over the RTX 4080 for those already possessing high-end cards, the added performance from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhances visual quality in compatible games.
The Scarcity of RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs
The initial release of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series, particularly the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, resulted in immediate sellouts. This scarcity extends to pre-built PCs equipped with these GPUs, many of which are now out of stock, overpriced, or facing significant delivery delays.
