Dell is currently offering one of the best deals on an RTX 5080-equipped prebuilt desktop computer. You can grab an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at $2,349.99, with shipping included. This is an excellent deal for a high-performance, 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 acquire an RTX 5080 GPU without facing significant markups. Attempting to purchase a standalone RTX 5080 GPU for a DIY build could cost nearly as much as the entire prebuilt system.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K
The RTX 5080 stands as the second-best Blackwell graphics card, only outdone by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's approximately 5%-10% faster than the discontinued RTX 4080 Super. In games utilizing the new DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, exclusive to Blackwell cards, the performance gap increases significantly.
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 might not be the best upgrade – its performance edge over the RTX 4080 is marginal, though DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation does enhance visuals in compatible games. However, for gamers upgrading from older GPUs seeking a substantial performance boost, the RTX 5080 is a solid choice, especially if you appreciate Nvidia’s AI enhancements."
