New for 2025: The Alienware Area-51 Chassis

Dell showcased the revamped Alienware Area-51 at CES 2025. The new chassis retains the aesthetic appeal of the 2024 R16 model but includes significant cooling and component updates. The I/O panel has been moved to the top of the case, and the tempered glass window now covers the entire side panel, eliminating side vents. Air intakes are now strategically placed at the bottom and front, promoting a positive airflow design for a cleaner interior. 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 as the pinnacle of consumer graphics cards. Nvidia has enhanced this GPU with software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology, boosting gameplay performance. It offers a 25%-30% performance increase over the RTX 4090 in raw raster performance and comes with more (32GB vs 24GB) and faster (GDDR7 vs GDDR6) VRAM. Due to high demand, the RTX 5090 is challenging to find at retail prices and often sells for $3,500-$4,000 on eBay.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas**

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has claimed the performance crown from the RTX 4090, though the generational leap is less significant than in the past. For traditional non-AI gaming, the RTX 5090 offers a modest performance increase. However, with games that support it, DLSS 4 provides substantial performance boosts, albeit with 75% of the frames generated by AI."
