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

The GeForce RTX 4090 may be a generation behind the new Blackwell 50 series GPUs, but it remains one of the most powerful graphics cards available. It outshines the RTX 5080, RTX 4080 Super, Radeon RX 9070 XT, and RX 7900 XTX. Only the RTX 5090 surpasses it, but finding one at a reasonable price is nearly impossible due to high demand and markups.

With the RTX 4090 now discontinued, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find. However, Dell offers two prebuilt gaming PC options equipped with 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 among the best deals for an RTX 4090-equipped system, as many other manufacturers like Lenovo and HP have stopped offering RTX 4090 prebuilt PCs.

This Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. You can upgrade the processor to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, but for gaming, the default Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is sufficient. It boasts 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 robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The Dell Tower Plus may look modest, but its internals are impressive. It features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. For an additional $100, upgrading to the Intel Core Ultra 7 285K is recommended, as it not only offers better performance but also improves cooling from standard to advanced air cooling, rated for 125W 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 is the top performer among the RTX 40 series GPUs. Only the RTX 5090, with its $2,000 MSRP, outperforms it. This card can handle 4K gaming with ease, delivering over 60fps with all settings maxed out and ray tracing enabled, especially with DLSS support. While path tracing remains a challenge for all GPUs, the RTX 4090 excels in virtually every other aspect of gaming, making the RTX 5090's additional power unnecessary for most users.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Review by Chris Coke

"The RTX 4090 may be large and costly, but it outperforms its competitors significantly. As the only card of its generation currently available, it's compared to older models. Its impressive hardware and DLSS 3 AI technology justify its $1,599 price tag, offering unmatched frame rates."
