Don't Wait for an RTX 5080: The HP Omen RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC Is Just as Powerful for Less

Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance virtually identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2500. For upgrades, consider the RTX 40-series. For instance, HP offers an Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1839.99 with the code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled system excels at any game and resolution.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: $1840

HP Omen 35L: Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, RTX 4080 Super, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD

Initially priced at $2619.99, this system (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD) is available for $1839.99 after a 30% discount and applying the "DUO20" coupon. The RTX 4080 Super upgrade adds $600 to the base price of $1699.99.

The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, is ideal for gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and lower power consumption are key advantages. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades are available, high-resolution gaming gains are minimal due to GPU limitations.

The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers high frame rates at 4K, even with ray tracing. Its superior base clock speed, CUDA core count, and memory bandwidth provide a 5-10% performance boost over the RTX 4080. It rivals AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0-supported titles. Its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 5080 with equivalent VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, mirroring the original RTX 4080, excels at 4K. Every test showcased its high-resolution capabilities, particularly with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it's a 4K powerhouse, achieving 79fps versus the RTX 4080's 76fps and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
