It runs incredibly cool and sips power to boot. How low? The card is also the first to feature HDMI 2. Without a next-gen product to go against the GeForce GTX , AMD has had to play a price war above and below, which has made the card hard to justify, except for those who want the fastest single-GPU card available—and those who prefer Nvidia to AMD on religious grounds.
If nothing else, you can lust after the GeForce GTX for the state of the art it represents right now. For the first few months the card was available, it was nigh impossible to find because of demand. Yes, the R9 came out in So does it even merit being on this list? I think so. System Name.

It took a while, but Alienware finally listened and created an AMD-focused line of its popular Aurora machines. The latest AMD Ryzen processors are exemplary in terms of both performance and price. The Ryzen 9 X stands out as a spectacular chip not just for productivity but also for gaming. That core, thread CPU shows just how far AMD has managed to push its smart chiplet-based Zen 3 architecture to in order to deliver an affordable, seriously high core-count processor for a gaming PC. And where old AMD chips couldn't keep pace with Intel when it comes to gaming, the current Ryzen range absolutely can, especially when paired with one of the latest AMD or Nvidia graphics cards.
There are currently six different configurations on offer, though you can dig in and customize before you buy if you would prefer a different CPU or GPU or more SSD capacity. You should definitely take a look in the configuration options, because the lowest spec option only comes with a single stick of DDR4 memory, which will halve the available bandwidth compared to running a pair of them, even at the same capacity.
That's expensive, however, and there aren't options to, say, either have one 8GB stick or two 4GB sticks. Take a look at the SSD on offer, too. Alienware is offering both the dark and light chassis options for the current lineup, and however you feel about the design, it does certainly make for a striking machine. The Aurora cases are not necessarily the easiest to upgrade due to their bespoke design. They're awkward to dig into if you want to start upgrading yourself, and you will soon see why they don't offer tempered glass side panels yet once you look inside.
But as a starter machine, the Alienware Aurora R10 will not do you wrong. And given the general component drought right now, that you can bag an all-AMD Alienware machine with just a few months lead time is pretty great.
You'll also get a Rocket Lake Core i5 KF, an impressively speedy gaming chip that doesn't demand either crazy cooling or a heap of power. This pairing will deliver seriously high-end gaming performance without breaking the bank. While the extra-terrestrial styling may not appeal to everyone, the performance of Alienware's Aurora R12 gaming PCs remains undeniable.
Alienware also offers eight discrete configurations on its site, from low-end gaming rigs sporting the GTX Super and Core i5 F, all the way up to RTX gaming monsters. That gives you a range of Alienware gaming machines from reasonably affordable p gaming right up to blistering 4K workload-smashing performance, and the Alienware AIO cooling system will help keep the cozy interior of the case at a reasonable temperature, too.
While the actual configs Alienware offers are great starting points, as with the Ryzen Edition, it's absolutely worth digging around in the customization options when it comes to picking the right rig for you. The memory issue is something you must be aware with when buying Alienware products. This will double your memory bandwidth, and it's a bit off that it's otherwise sold with the weaker solitary stick.
Thanks to their Cypress Cove core architecture, the new Intel Core i5 chips make great gaming CPUs and would definitely be our picks if you're looking for a new Aurora R12 build.
We have played with the RTX version of the last-gen Aurora R10, sans liquid chilled GPU, and in gaming terms, you're not going to get a lot higher frame rates than you would with the RTX build.
That's not a massive surprise given our testing of the RTX at launch; it only makes sense if you need that 24GB frame buffer for creative work. The unconventional case design exploits every inch of its limited space, but it initially feels a bit awkward to tinker with. However, access to nearly every part of the PC without tools is a definite plus, as this expedites upgrades and maintenance—so long as you're familiar with the design.
There's an obvious priority on providing a convenient, premium product with some potential for upgrades, and the Aurora design just about accomplishes that goal. The issue with all gaming PCs and parts right now is availability. And that's currently hitting Alienware as hard as the everyone else. Picking up a new Aurora R12 rig today means you're not going actually to receive it for a month at best. There's a reason Razer is desperate to follow Corsair's lead; it's one of the biggest names in PC gaming hardware right now.
Through continual product expansion, and some super-smart acquisitions, Corsair now has its fingers in pretty much every facet of our hobby. In fact, CPUs, motherboards, and GPUs are the only places you won't find a Corsair logo, but with its impressive line of premium gaming PCs, that logo will still contain all three: the very finest of all that technical jazz. And if you're looking to kick start your career as the next big Twitch streamer, Corsair's integration of Elgato streaming tech in its PCs means they're a great option for the budding stream-star.
What makes this system stand out is the optional Elgato 4K60 Pro capture card in the specific "Streaming" machines. Sure, you can just use OBS Studio or Nvidia's Shadowplay or whatever it's calling itself these days , but there will always be some overhead to deal with.
Using a professional capture card can really take the load off. And that's especially good for broadcasting a livestream.
