MSI Aegis R2 RTX 5080 gaming PC deal at Costco, Digi Mart USA News: Costco is listing the MSI Aegis R2 gaming PC for $2,899.99, according to a Notebookcheck report. The same system was previously priced at $3,699.99, and an ongoing promotion has reduced it by $800.
The prebuilt machine is equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5080 graphics card, which the report says offers 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and 10,752 CUDA cores. It is paired with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor, which has 24 cores in total, made up of 8 performance cores and 16 efficient cores, and a liquid cooler to manage CPU temperatures during long sessions.
The system also includes 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD for storage. Notebookcheck notes that 32GB is generally considered a strong amount of memory for high-end gaming and multitasking, while suggesting a 2TB SSD would have been a better fit for a machine at this level.
Buyers can also receive two free games through the Intel Gaming – Built for Battle promotion. Eligible titles listed in the report include Total War: Warhammer 40,000, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Everwind, Battlefield 6 and Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Notebookcheck states that it is not responsible for retailer price changes, and that the deal may be subject to time restrictions or limited unit availability. The report was not independently verified by Digi Mart USA News.
