INNOVATIVE GRAPHICS POWER, AIRFLOW, AND COOLING
The Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition now offers optional custom graphics designs based on NVIDIA’s 2nd Gen RTX architecture. These custom designs are made with extensive thermals and an innovative airflow pattern engineered to prioritize graphics performance while complementing the Aurora chassis airflow as well.
Extensive cooling: Our new thermal design includes quad 10mm copper heat pipes with integrated vapor chambers – our largest diameter heat pipe design to date – designed for exceptional gaming performance.
Innovative airflow: Another added boost for graphics performance is made possible by a dual-axial fan design with positive rear pressure relief – a new Alienware first for graphics cards. The positive rear pressure relief allows heat to escape from specially located vents designed to aid with flow and thermal management. This new approach is built with gamers in mind.
Engineered for efficiency: These custom graphics card designs, included in both NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 and 3090 graphics, are built with space efficiency with a max length of just 267mm that covers a 2.5x slots and offers a dual 6-pin/8-pin PCI-Express power connectors. All of these choices have been made to create efficiency with uncompromised gaming performance.
Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS): Using AI rendering, NVIDIA® DLSS delivers a massive performance boost at the same power when compared to other graphics cards at similar resolutions.
NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors (SM): NVIDIA’s 2nd Gen RTX graphics cards come with the building blocks for incredibly fast and efficient GPUs. The all-new Ampere SM brings higher throughput allowing for faster data processing while offering improved power efficiency when compared to previous gen graphics cards.
Resizable BAR: Resizable BAR is an advanced PCI-Express feature available on NVIDIA’s 2nd Gen RTX graphics cards that enables the CPU to access the entire GPU frame buffer at once and designed to improve performance in games.

GRAPHICS CARD TECHNOLOGIES: AMD RADEON™ IMAGE SHARPENING
Detailed, Beautiful Visuals with Radeon™ Image Sharpening: Experience superior image quality with low performance impact. AMD Radeon™ Image Sharpening uses an intelligent contrast-adaptive sharpening algorithm that produces visuals that look crisp and detailed. Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening combined with optional GPU Upscaling draws out details in your favorite titles.
AMD Radeon™ Image Sharpening: AMD Radeon™ Image Sharpening (RIS) is a contrast-adaptive sharpening algorithm designed to intelligently enhance details to deliver crisp-looking visuals with minimal performance impact.
AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag: The new Radeon Anti-Lag feature in Radeon Software is designed to help reduce input lag in GPU-limited cases. Radeon Anti-Lag controls the pace of the CPU work to make sure it doesn't get too far ahead of the GPU, reducing the amount of CPU work queued up. As a result, Radeon Anti-Lag can shrink input lag by almost a full frame, restoring the responsiveness to your game.
AMD Radeon™ FreeSync™ Technology: AMD Radeon FreeSync technology in the AMD Radeon™ RX graphics on the Alienware Aurora resolves the communication issues between processor and monitor, eliminating image tears and choppiness for effortlessly smooth gameplay.

ENGINEERED FOR AN UNENDING ADVANTAGE
A new era of engineering: The Aurora Ryzen Edition features our Legend Industrial Design with an improved airflow pattern. The Legend ID ensures airflow moves more fluidly and efficiently to reduce CPU temperatures. Lower temperatures mean performance with more stability and higher overclocking which results in higher frames per second while gaming. Additionally, the Legend Industrial Design lowers temperatures by up to 8% at the voltage regulator heatsinks over its predecessor.
Gaming made timeless: An innovative PSU swing-arm enables a variety of benefits like tool-less graphics, expansion bays and a compact chassis size. It also allows graphics cards to be perfectly positioned for purposeful airflow. We ensured the swing-arm carries the power supply which allows for airflow through the side vent, while securing and reducing vibrations to the cards themselves during shipping.
Added safety: To ensure safety and to avoid any damage or injury, we created a stop-anywhere locking mechanism on the PSU swing-arm. This prevents the swing-arm from falling or swinging while in use.

LEGENDS LIVE ON
The future of design: The Legend Industrial Design is a return to Alienware’s roots, with a look that pushes Aurora into a new realm. The unique design helps avid gamers stand out from the crowd thanks to bold, continuous lighting and the iconic central loop of AlienFX that unleashes dynamic LED lighting. Additionally, functional front airways and hexagonal-shaped side venting boost intake efficiency and maximize air movement.
Legendary colors: Choose from two different ultra-smooth, satin-finished colors: Lunar Light (with extra Alienware wordmark lighting zone) or Dark Side of the Moon.
Enhanced usability: By moving the ports from the top of the system to the front, the Aurora gives users easier access, while surrounding lighting helps identify which ports are already occupied.
