New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

At CES 2025, Dell unveiled the latest iteration of the Alienware Area-51 gaming PC. The new chassis, while resembling the 2024 R16 model, features significant aesthetic and cooling enhancements along with updated components. The I/O panel has been relocated to the top of the case, and the tempered glass now covers the entire side panel, eliminating the need for side vents. Instead, air intakes are strategically placed at the bottom and front, promoting a positive airflow design that keeps 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 CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 stands out as the most potent consumer GPU on the market. While Nvidia has focused on software updates, AI enhancements, and DLSS 4 technology to boost gameplay, the RTX 5090 still delivers a 25%-30% increase in raw raster performance over the RTX 4090. Additionally, it features more (32GB vs 24GB) and faster (GDDR7 vs GDDR6) VRAM. Due to high demand, this GPU is hard to find at its retail price and is currently selling for $3,500-$4,000 on eBay.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially surpassed the RTX 4090 in performance, though the generational uplift in traditional gaming is modest. However, in games that support DLSS 4, the performance gains are substantial, albeit with the caveat that 75% of the frames are AI-generated."
