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

Our review of the new RTX 5080 GPU is out, and the performance is nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super. Worse yet, it's practically impossible to find in stock, and pre-built systems are priced over $2,500. If you're considering an upgrade, we recommend looking at RTX 40-series GPUs instead.

For instance, HP offers an HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1,839.99 after a 20% discount with code "DUO20". This is an exceptional price for a liquid-cooled gaming PC capable of handling any game at any resolution.

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

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

This system features an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD, originally priced at $2,619.99. Upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600, bringing the total to $2,299.99. Apply the 20% off coupon code "DUO20" at checkout for the final price of $1,839.99.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 is Intel's latest 14-core Meteor Lake CPU, boasting a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency. It's a powerful processor ideal for gaming and workstation tasks, AI-optimized with a dedicated NPU, and more power-efficient than previous generations. While you can upgrade to Core Ultra 7 or 9, the performance gain in high-resolution gaming is minimal, as it's largely GPU-bound.

The RTX 4080 Super is Nvidia's second most powerful RTX 40-series card. It effortlessly handles any game at 4K with high frame rates, even with ray tracing enabled. It's 5-10% faster than the RTX 4080 due to its higher base clock speed, CUDA core count, and memory bandwidth. It rivals AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and where DLSS 3.0 is supported. Its performance is nearly identical to the new RTX 5080, with the same VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, much like the original RTX 4080, is a true 4K graphics card. In every test, it excelled at this resolution with ample headroom, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even in games without DLSS or ray tracing, like Total War: Warhammer 3, the RTX 4080 Super was a powerhouse at 4K, achieving 79fps compared to 76fps from the RTX 4080 and 86fps from the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX."
