New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell showcased the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025, featuring an updated chassis design. While it retains similarities to the 2024 R16 model, it includes aesthetic and cooling enhancements. The I/O panel is now at the top instead of the front, and the tempered glass window covers the entire side panel, eliminating side vents. Air intakes are positioned at the bottom and front, promoting a positive airflow design that helps keep the interior cleaner. The internal components have been upgraded with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and a more powerful power supply, tailored for the latest CPUs and GPUs.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is the reigning champion of consumer GPUs. Despite Nvidia's focus on software updates, AI enhancements, and DLSS 4 technology, the RTX 5090 delivers a 25%-30% performance boost over the RTX 4090 in traditional raster performance. It also comes with more and faster VRAM (32GB GDDR7 vs. 24GB GDDR6). Finding it at retail price is a challenge, with eBay listings hovering between $3,500 and $4,000.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially dethroned the RTX 4090, though the generational leap is smaller than expected. For non-AI gaming, the RTX 5090's performance increase is modest. However, DLSS 4 in supported games can significantly boost frame rates, though you'll need to accept that 75% of those frames are AI-generated."
