The GeForce RTX 4090 is a generation older than the new Blackwell 50 series GPUs, but this doesn’t change the fact that it’s still one of the most powerful cards out there, eclipsing the GeForce RTX 5080 or RTX 4080 Super and the Radeon RX 9070 XT or RX 7900 XTX. Only one GPU performs better – the RTX 5090 – and you’ll need to use up a lifetime of luck to find one that isn’t marked up by hundreds, even thousands of dollars.
Because the RTX 4090 has been discontinued, finding a deal on a prebuilt is not an easy task. Fortunately, Dell still sells a couple of Alienware Aurora R16 systems configured with a 4090 GPU. In fact, one such system is on sale today with a $600 off instant discount. Not only are RTX 4090 prebuilts hard to come by – Lenovo and HP no longer carry them – Alienware’s prices are actually the lowest I can find across any brand or online retailer.

If you’re looking for the absolute lowest price for an RTX 4090 prebuilt, then check out this Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC at $2,999.99. It’s $150 cheaper that the aforementioned config, but you get a less powerful CPU, less RAM, and less storage. If you settle for this config, keep in mind that’s it’s still an excellent option for both gaming and workstation tasks. It’s equipped with the current generation Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU with a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz and 20 cores.
How does the RTX 4090 stack up against current cards?
The RTX 4090 is the most powerful RTX 40 series GPU on the market. Compared to the new Blackwell cards, only the $2,000 MSRP RTX 5090 is superior in performance. This card will run every game comfortably at 4K resolution; you should be hitting 60+fps even with all settings turned to the max and ray tracing enabled, doubly so if DLSS is supported. The only setting that the 4090 (as well as every other GPU) struggles with is path tracing, but no one really ever turns this on except during benchmark tests or social media flexing. The RTX 5090 might be faster, but for the vast majority of people out there, it’s just wasted power since the 4090 already excels at pretty much all things gaming.
