Alienware RTX 5080 PC: Prime Day's Top Gaming Deal

Dell's Early Holiday Sale is slashing prices dramatically on Alienware gaming PCs, laptops, and monitors. The standout offer we've spotted is the popular Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop featuring a GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. Originally priced at $2,500, it's now discounted by a massive $800, bringing the final cost to just $1,694.99 with complimentary shipping. This is $300 less than the previous lowest price we've reported for an identical configuration.

At this price point, it outperforms any RTX 5080 desktop currently featured in Amazon's Prime Day sales, even though Alienware systems typically carry a higher premium. A comparable setup would have cost around $3,000 earlier this year, but Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series pricing has been steadily declining. It's highly improbable we'll see a better price during Black Friday.

This $1,695 model comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, a GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz memory, and a 1TB M.2 solid-state drive. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, featuring 20 cores and a 36MB L2 cache. It's kept cool by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution and is powered by a 1,000-watt PSU.

The system is customizable, allowing you to upgrade the CPU, RAM, and storage. For instance, you can opt for the more potent Intel Core Ultra 9 285K chip, which offers higher clock speeds and more cores, for an additional $300. Another cost-effective upgrade is moving to a 2TB SSD from the base 1TB model for just $50 more.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU handles any game in 4K

In terms of performance, the RTX 5080 is a powerhouse. It ranks among the fastest graphics cards available, second only to the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the now-discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. It's an exceptional choice for running the latest, most graphics-intensive games in 4K resolution with high visual settings and ray tracing enabled. The RTX 5080 also supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, enabling higher frame rates in compatible titles with minimal impact on image quality. Recent games supporting this technology include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and the anticipated Battlefield 6.
