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 nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $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 delivers exceptional performance 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

This configuration starts at $1,699.99 (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD). Upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600, totaling $2,299.99. Apply the "DUO20" coupon for the $1,839.99 price.

The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz turbo, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and improved power efficiency are key advantages. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades are possible, high-resolution gaming gains are minimal due to GPU limitations.

The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-tier RTX 40-series card, delivers high frame rates at 4K, 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 the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0-supported titles. Its performance is virtually identical to the RTX 5080, with matching VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas:

"The RTX 4080 Super, like its predecessor, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at this resolution, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it delivers impressive performance—79fps at 4K, compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX."
