Dell, Alienware RTX 4090 Gaming PC Now $2,850

The GeForce RTX 4090, though a generation older than the new Blackwell 50 series GPUs, remains one of the most formidable graphics cards available, outshining competitors like the GeForce RTX 5080, RTX 4080 Super, Radeon RX 9070 XT, and RX 7900 XTX. The only GPU that surpasses it is the RTX 5090, which is notoriously difficult to find without a hefty price markup.

With the RTX 4090 now discontinued, finding one has become increasingly challenging. Thankfully, Dell offers two prebuilt gaming PC options that include the RTX 4090 at competitive prices. The Alienware Aurora R16 starts at $3,299.99, while the Dell Tower Plus begins at $2,849.99. These are some of the best deals available for an RTX 4090-equipped system, especially since other manufacturers like Lenovo and HP have stopped offering RTX 4090 prebuilt gaming PCs.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is a robust processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz and 20 cores, cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler. The system is powered by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

For an additional $100, upgrading to the Intel Core Ultra 7 285K is recommended. This upgrade not only provides a superior processor but also enhances CPU cooling from "standard air cooling" to "advanced air cooling," with a more robust tower heatsink fan rated for 125W TDP instead of 65W TDP. The system is powered by a 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

How does the RTX 4090 stack up against current cards?

The RTX 4090 remains the pinnacle of the RTX 40 series GPUs. Only the RTX 5090, with its $2,000 MSRP, outperforms it. The RTX 4090 can handle any game at 4K resolution with ease, delivering over 60fps even at max settings with ray tracing enabled, especially when DLSS is supported. Path tracing remains a challenge, but it's rarely used outside of benchmarks and social media showcases. For most gamers, the RTX 4090 offers more than enough power for a top-tier gaming experience.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Review by Chris Coke

"The RTX 4090 may be large and pricey, but its performance is unmatched. As the sole representative of its generation currently available, it's compared to cards from the past few years. Until others catch up, its hardware specs and DLSS 3 AI capabilities justify the $1,599 price tag for the unparalleled frame rates it delivers."
