If you're in the market for a top-tier gaming setup, Dell's current offer on the Alienware Aurora R16 equipped with an RTX 5080 is unbeatable. You can snag this powerhouse starting at just $2,349.99, shipped directly to your door. This price point is exceptionally competitive for a prebuilt desktop that's engineered to deliver seamless 4K gaming at high frame rates. In today's market, opting for a prebuilt like this is the smartest move to get your hands on an RTX 5080 without the inflated prices often seen with standalone GPU purchases. Trying to build your own PC with an RTX 5080 could end up costing you almost as much as this complete system.

Starting this week, Dell introduces another RTX 5080 configuration featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

The RTX 5080 stands as the second best Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. The RTX 5080 shines even brighter in games that support the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, a feature exclusive to Blackwell cards.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas

"If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 doesn’t offer a significant performance leap over the RTX 4080. However, the extra frames provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the visual experience in supported games. For gamers upgrading from older hardware and looking for a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is an excellent choice, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia's AI enhancements."
