Dell currently offers one of the best deals on an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt desktop computer. You can now purchase an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at $2,349.99, with shipping included. This is an excellent price for a well-engineered and warrantied system capable of handling 4K gaming at high frame rates. 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 exorbitant markups. Attempting to buy a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build would likely 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-best Blackwell graphics card, only surpassed by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the now-discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games supporting the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap increases.
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 make a lot of sense – it just doesn’t have much of a performance lead over the RTX 4080, though the extra frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do make things look better in games that support it. However, for gamers with an older graphics card who want a significant performance boost, the RTX 5080 absolutely provides – doubly so if you’re comfortable with Nvidia’s AI goodies."
