This price point makes it an attractive option for gamers looking to enjoy 4K gaming at high frame rates without the markup typically associated with standalone RTX 5080 GPUs. In today's market, opting for a prebuilt system is a strategic move to secure this powerful graphics card without breaking the bank.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, part of the Meteor Lake series, offers a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz with 20 cores and a 30MB cache.

Starting this week, Dell introduces another RTX 5080 configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor. This CPU boasts a max turbo frequency of 5.6GHz and 24 cores, making it ideal for gamers who also engage in rendering and productivity tasks that benefit from additional cores.
The RTX 5080 is the second most powerful Blackwell graphics card, only behind the RTX 5090. It outperforms the discontinued RTX 4080 Super by about 5%-10%. In games supporting the new DLSS 4 with 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 offer a substantial performance leap over the RTX 4080, though the enhanced frames from DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation do improve gameplay in supported titles. However, for gamers with older graphics cards seeking a significant upgrade, the RTX 5080 is a game-changer, especially if you're keen on Nvidia's AI enhancements."
