Starting today, Dell is offering an unbeatable deal on the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC, now equipped with the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99, including shipping. This price point is exceptionally competitive for an RTX 5080 prebuilt system, especially when you consider that other brands have been increasing their prices since the RTX 50 series debuted in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option for an RTX 5080-equipped PC is over $4,000. For those considering a DIY build, sourcing a standalone RTX 5080 GPU alone would likely cost as much as this complete system.
Update: Tariffs have impacted Dell as well, and with the ongoing scarcity of Blackwell cards, expect the prices of Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs to rise soon.

The RTX 5080, one of three new Blackwell graphics cards, is currently in high demand and hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie noted that "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be the best upgrade – it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4080, though the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers with older GPUs looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a fantastic choice, especially if you're eager to leverage Nvidia's AI enhancements."
RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere
The initial release of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, sold out within an hour of preorders going live. The RTX 5070 Ti followed in February, but similarly, these GPUs and prebuilt systems featuring them are now either sold out, more expensive, or facing long delivery times.
