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

The GeForce RTX 4090, though a generation behind the new Blackwell 50 series GPUs, remains one of the most formidable graphics cards available. It outperforms 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 hard to find without a significant markup, often reaching into the thousands of dollars.

With the RTX 4090 now discontinued, finding one has become increasingly challenging. However, Dell offers two prebuilt gaming PC models featuring this powerful GPU at competitive prices. The Alienware Aurora R16 starts at $3,299.99, while the Dell Tower Plus is available from $2,849.99. These are among the best deals currently available for an RTX 4090-equipped system, as other manufacturers like Lenovo and HP have ceased offering RTX 4090 prebuilt gaming PCs.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Gaming PC

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 4090 Gaming PC

Priced at $3,299.99 at Alienware, this Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU paired with a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. It comes with 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The processor can be upgraded to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, but for gaming, the standard Intel Core Ultra 7 265F suffices, boasting a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz and 20 cores. The system is cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler and supported by a robust 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

Dell Tower Plus RTX 4090 Gaming PC

New Dell Tower Plus Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 4090 Gaming PC

Available for $2,849.99 after a 10% discount at Dell, the Dell Tower Plus gaming PC offers similar specs: 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 enhances performance but also upgrades the CPU cooling from standard air cooling to advanced air cooling, rated for 125W TDP. The system is powered by a reliable 1,000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

How does the RTX 4090 stack up against current cards?

The RTX 4090 stands as the pinnacle of the RTX 40 series, with only the RTX 5090, priced at an MSRP of $2,000, surpassing it in performance. This card excels at running games at 4K resolution, delivering over 60 fps with max settings and ray tracing enabled, especially when DLSS is in use. While path tracing remains a challenge for all GPUs, the RTX 4090 handles nearly all gaming scenarios with ease, making the RTX 5090's superior performance unnecessary for most gamers.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU Review by Chris Coke

"The RTX 4090 is a powerhouse, despite its size and cost. It significantly outperforms its competition, setting a high bar for future GPUs. With its advanced hardware and DLSS 3 AI capabilities, the $1,599 price tag feels justified for the exceptional frame rates it delivers."
