Dell Outlet Just Restocked Its Alienware Gaming PC Inventory, Including Rare RTX 4090 Systems

Despite being a generation old, the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is still the second most powerful GPU on the market, besting even the new RTX 5080. It also has the second most amount of VRAM at 24GB, making it a great card for anyone dabbling in AI. Considering the fact than an Alienware RTX 5090 gaming PC will run you over $4,500, a sub-$3,000 RTX 4090 system sounds like a bargain. It’s increasingly more difficult to find an RTX 4090 prebuilt at all, since Nvidia has already discontinued the GPU. The graphics card is also selling for abnormally high prices on eBay, even though RTX 5090 GPUs have come down in price and are more readily available.

The RTX 5080 is the second best Blackwell graphics card, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It’s about 5%-10% faster than the previous generation RTX 4080 Super, which is discontinued and no longer available. In games that support DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation exclusive to Blackwell cards, the gap widens. This is an outstanding card for playing even the latest games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled.

Among the new Blackwell releases, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is probably our favorite model. It is definitely the most affordable Nvidia graphics card that I’d recommend for gaming in 4K with consistent frame rates of at least 60fps. Compared to the previous generation cards, it’s roughly comparable to an RTX 4080 Super but with the added benefit of DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation.

The RTX 5070 performs comparably with the RTX 4070 Super and is a solid choice for gaming at 1080p or 1440p at frame rates of 60fps or higher. The gap widens in favor of the RTX 5070 in games that support DLSS 4. For FPS gamers with 1080p monitors, this is a good budget option for achieving 144fps or higher for smoother gameplay.
