Awesome deal, Im still running my Alienware Aurora R7 with liquid cooling from like 2018. Upgraded from a GTX1080 to a RTX3070. Not a single issue with this PC. I run it for about 8+ hours a day and often max out the CPU and GPU from gaming yet ive never had an issue with overheating even when my office was 90+ degrees

Could someone speak to a realistic comparison for video editing performance? I had been waiting for the Aurora R16 deal to come back around (14900KF and 4090 graphics) but I may have to wait longer than I want (if it ever comes back in that variant). I'm looking at this new one with the highest option Core Ultra 9 with 24 cores 3.7-5.7GHz processor, liquid cooled processor. Does Adobe Premiere even support the 5080 yet?

What do the experts think? Much thanks in advance.

Man, I was putting a list together for 9800x3d and 5080 all white build. The cost is climbing upward to 4.5k.

This literally half the price but not as nice looking. Decision decision

30% behind in what?

If you're saying it's categorically slower, that's a complete lie.

In the areas where it only goes toe to toe with the 14th gen, it's still far more power efficient.

Even if you could choose an AMD, it would probably be one of the x3D models that's leaving scorch marks on the socket when they blow out.

People complaining about intel cpu, but bruh, nobody runs 5080 on 1080p or even 2k. CPU doesn't matter
