For a limited time, Best Buy is offering the Acer Predator RTX 5080 gaming PC at its lowest price to date, with an instant $500 discount bringing the cost down to $2,699.99. This deal is valid only on Friday and Saturday.
The prebuilt desktop is outfitted with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU with 16GB of VRAM, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Core Ultra 7 265KF features 20 cores and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.5GHz, making it a capable CPU for both gaming and other demanding tasks. Cooling is handled by a 240mm liquid all-in-one cooler, and the system is powered by an 850W power supply.
The GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card is positioned as one of the top-tier GPUs available, second only to the RTX 5090 and the now-discontinued RTX 4090. It is designed to run the latest and most demanding games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled. Recent optimizations to Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 technology, particularly with multi-frame generation and upscaling, further enhance performance, allowing for higher frame rates even at 4K. Several upcoming titles, including Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Battlefield 6, Death Stranding 2, and Crimson Desert, are expected to support these advanced features.
