Retailer offers CyberPowerPC RTX 5080 gaming PC for under $3,000
Best Buy is selling a CyberPowerPC gaming PC with an RTX 5080 graphics card for $2,989.99 for one day, as reports of cuts to Nvidia's RTX 5080 production raise concern about future prices.
Best Buy is offering a CyberPowerPC gaming PC built around Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card for $2,989.99, with free shipping, after a $340 instant discount. The offer is available for one day only. Deal coverage from IGN notes that rumors of reduced RTX 5080 production have raised worries that prebuilt systems with the card could become harder to find at lower prices.
The reported supply concerns follow a similar rumor about Nvidia's RTX 5090 earlier this month, which IGN says caused prebuilt prices for that card to climb sharply. IGN's commerce team describes this CyberPowerPC model as one of the few RTX 5080 prebuilts under $3,000 it could find from a brand it recognizes, a combination the publication presents as a reason the deal may not return soon.
The system is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor, a GeForce RTX 5080 with 16GB of memory, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB solid-state drive. The Ryzen 9 9900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on AMD's Zen 5 architecture, with a maximum boost clock of 5.6GHz. IGN says its high clock speed makes it well suited to gaming, while its core count also serves standard workstation and productivity tasks.
The computer sits in a modified Phanteks Evol X2 midtower case with a panoramic tempered glass panel, which IGN says was one of the coolest cases shown at CES 2025. According to the report, the chassis leaves room for future upgrades and provides ample airflow for heat-generating components.
On performance, IGN describes the RTX 5080 as one of the fastest graphics cards on the market, surpassed only by the $2,000 retail RTX 5090 and the discontinued RTX 4090, which had a $1,600 retail price. The publication says the card can run the latest and most demanding games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled. It also points to the DLSS 4.5 update, which further refines multi-frame generation and upscaling to support high frame rates at 4K. Games that support the feature include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Battlefield 6, Death Stranding 2 and Crimson Desert.
The deal was highlighted by Eric Song, IGN's commerce manager, whose role involves finding gaming and technology discounts each day. IGN's deals team says it has more than 30 years of combined experience tracking discounts and preorders online.
