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 PC delivers exceptional value and performance at any resolution.

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

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

Originally $2,619.99, now $1,839.99 at HP. Use code 'DUO20'. This configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU (upgradeable to RTX 4080 Super for an additional $600), 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4080 Super upgrade brings the total to $2,299.99 before the 20% discount.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI optimization and power efficiency are notable improvements. While upgrades to Core Ultra 7 or 9 are possible, high-resolution gaming gains will be minimal due to GPU limitations.

The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K gaming performance with high frame rates, even with ray tracing. Its superior 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 matching VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas:

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, mirroring the original RTX 4080, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at this resolution, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves impressive 4K performance (79fps vs. RTX 4080's 76fps and RX 7900 XTX's 86fps)."
