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 cost over $2,500. Consider an RTX 40-series alternative. For instance, HP offers an Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1,839.99 with the code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled PC excels at any game, at any resolution.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: $1,840

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

Initially priced at $2,619.99, this system (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD) is available for $1,839.99 after a 20% discount using code "DUO20". The RTX 4080 Super upgrade adds $600 to the base price of $1,699.99.

The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake processor with a 5.2GHz turbo, is ideal for gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and power efficiency are notable advantages. Upgrading to a Core Ultra 7 or 9 offers minimal high-resolution gaming gains, as performance is largely GPU-dependent.

The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K performance, even with ray tracing. It surpasses the RTX 4080 by 5-10%, thanks to higher clock speeds, CUDA cores, and memory bandwidth. It rivals the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but excels in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 support. 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 delivers exceptional performance at this resolution, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves 79fps at 4K, outperforming the RTX 4080 (76fps) and approaching the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (86fps)."
