Dell is currently offering one of the most competitive prices on an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt desktop computer. You can purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at just $2,349.99, with shipping included. This price point represents excellent value for a high-performance system designed for 4K gaming at high frame rates. In today's market, opting for a prebuilt gaming PC is the most cost-effective way to acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without facing the steep markups often seen with individual component purchases. Attempting to buy an RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system.

Starting this week, Dell is also offering a second RTX 5080 configuration. This model features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores. While it offers similar gaming performance to the Ultra 7 model, it excels in rendering and productivity applications thanks to its additional cores.
The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games that support the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap becomes even more significant.
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 additional frames provided by DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation enhance the gaming experience in supported titles. For gamers upgrading from older graphics cards, the RTX 5080 delivers a substantial performance boost, especially if you're keen on utilizing Nvidia's AI enhancements."
