Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC Now $500 Off

Earlier this year, Dell revitalized the iconic Alienware Area-51 lineup of prebuilt gaming PCs. Initially, these systems were limited to a single graphics card option - the RTX 5080. However, that's changed, and now you can opt for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, which stands as the most powerful graphics card currently available on the market. Excitingly, one of the preconfigured systems featuring this powerhouse GPU is currently on sale.

New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell introduced the latest Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The new chassis maintains the aesthetic of the 2024 R16 model but includes significant updates in cooling and component design. The I/O panel has been relocated to the top of the case, and the tempered glass window now covers the entire side panel, eliminating the need for side panel vents. Air intakes have been strategically placed at the bottom and front of the case to promote a positive airflow design, reducing dust accumulation inside. The interior has been upgraded with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply to support the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has established itself as the most powerful consumer GPU available. While Nvidia has focused on software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to enhance gameplay, the RTX 5090 still offers a significant 25%-30% increase in raster performance over the RTX 4090. Additionally, it comes with more and faster memory - 32GB of GDDR7 compared to the 4090's 24GB of GDDR6. Due to high demand, this GPU is challenging to find at its retail price and is often seen selling for $3,500-$4000 on eBay.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has dethroned the RTX 4090, though the performance increase is modest compared to previous generations. In traditional gaming scenarios, the uplift is one of the smallest we've seen recently. However, DLSS 4 significantly boosts performance in compatible games, with 75% of the frames being AI-generated."
