New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell showcased the revamped Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025, featuring a chassis design that echoes the 2024 R16 model but with significant aesthetic and cooling enhancements. The new design repositions the I/O panel to the top of the case and replaces the traditional side panel cutout with a full-length tempered glass window. Air intakes are now located at the bottom and front, facilitating a positive airflow system that helps keep the interior cleaner. The internal components have been upgraded with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply to support the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 stands out as the pinnacle of consumer GPUs. Despite Nvidia's focus on software updates, AI enhancements, and DLSS 4 technology, the RTX 5090 still offers a 25%-30% performance increase over the RTX 4090 in terms of raw raster performance. It also features an upgraded 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a step up from the 24GB GDDR6 in the RTX 4090. Due to high demand, the RTX 5090 is challenging to find at its retail price, often selling for between $3,500 and $4,000 on eBay.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has taken the performance crown from the RTX 4090, though the generational leap is less pronounced than in the past. In traditional, non-AI gaming scenarios, the RTX 5090's performance uplift is modest. However, for games that utilize DLSS 4, the performance gains are significant, albeit with 75% of the frames being AI-generated."
