Dell is currently offering one of the best prices on an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt desktop computer. You can now purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at just $2,349.99, including shipping. This is an excellent deal for a well-engineered and warrantied system capable of delivering high frame rates at 4K resolution. In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to get your hands on an RTX 5080 GPU without facing the inflated prices often seen with standalone graphics cards. Attempting to buy a 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as this complete system.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU Will Run Any Game in 4K
The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It outperforms the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super by about 5%-10%. The advantage becomes even more significant in games that leverage 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 own a high-end graphics card from recent years, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 may not offer a significant upgrade – it doesn't outpace the RTX 4080 by much, though the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance the visual experience in supported games. However, for gamers looking to upgrade from older GPUs, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
