Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis design is reminiscent of the 2024 R16 system but features aesthetic and cooling redesigns along with updated components. The I/O panel is now located at the top of the case, and the tempered glass window spans the entire side panel, eliminating side panel vents. Air intakes are strategically placed at the bottom and front of the case to promote a positive airflow design, which helps maintain a cleaner interior. The internal components have been upgraded with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply to support the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs.

GeForce RTX 5080 GPU Performance

The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, just behind the $2,000 RTX 5090. It offers a performance boost of about 5%-10% over the discontinued RTX 4080 Super. With the new DLSS 4 featuring 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 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."
