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, priced at just $2,399.99 with free shipping. This is one of the most competitive prices available for an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt system, especially considering the upward trend in pricing since the RTX 50 series launch in January. At Dell, the next cheapest option with an RTX 5080 GPU is over $4,000, making this deal even more attractive. If you're considering building your own PC, finding a standalone RTX 5080 GPU could cost you as much as this fully assembled system.

Update: Tariffs have impacted Dell as well, and with the ongoing stock challenges of the Blackwell cards, prices on Alienware gaming desktops with RTX 50 series GPUs are expected to rise soon.

The RTX 5080 is one of three new Blackwell graphics cards released, and they're incredibly hard to find. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review, Jackie notes, "If you already have a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a significant upgrade – its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is minimal, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in supported games. However, for those with older graphics cards seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a fantastic choice, particularly if you're keen on Nvidia’s AI features."

RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs Are Sold Out Everywhere

The initial wave of Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards sold out within an hour of preorders opening. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 were the first to hit the market, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February. Unfortunately, prebuilt gaming PCs featuring these new GPUs have also faced rapid sell-outs, price increases, or extended delivery delays.
