Dell currently offers one of the best deals for a prebuilt desktop computer featuring the RTX 5080. The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC is now available starting at $2,349.99 with free shipping. This is an excellent value for a well-engineered system that comes with a warranty and is capable of delivering high frame rates in 4K gaming. Given current market conditions, purchasing a prebuilt system is the most practical way to obtain an RTX 5080 GPU without paying a significant premium. In fact, sourcing just the RTX 5080 GPU for a custom build could cost nearly as much as this complete system.

Dell has introduced a second RTX 5080 configuration this week. This model is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor, which boasts a maximum turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and features 24 cores. For gaming performance, it will be largely similar to the Ultra 7 model, but it offers a significant advantage in rendering tasks and productivity applications that can leverage the additional cores.
The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 stands as the second most powerful graphics card in the Blackwell lineup, only behind the $2,000 RTX 5090. It delivers approximately 5%-10% higher performance than the previous-generation RTX 4080 Super, which has since been discontinued. In games that support the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation—a technology exclusive to Blackwell GPUs—this performance gap becomes even more pronounced.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE Review, by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already own a high-end graphics card from the last couple of years, upgrading to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 might not be a compelling move—its performance lead over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do enhance visual smoothness in supported titles. However, for gamers upgrading from an older GPU and seeking a substantial performance uplift, the RTX 5080 delivers impressively, especially if you appreciate Nvidia's suite of AI features."
