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 $2,500. For upgrades, consider the RTX 40-series. For instance, HP offers the Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1,839.99 with the code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled powerhouse excels at any game and 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, the system (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD) is discounted to $1,699.99. Upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600, totaling $2,299.99. Apply the "DUO20" code for the final $1,839.99 price.

The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz turbo, is ideal for gaming and workstation tasks. AI-optimized with a dedicated NPU, it's more power-efficient than predecessors. Upgrading to 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 high frame rates at 4K, even with ray tracing. It surpasses the RTX 4080 by 5-10% due to higher clock speeds, CUDA cores, and memory bandwidth. It rivals the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, outperforming it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 scenarios. Its performance matches the RTX 5080, sharing the same VRAM capacity.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, mirroring the original RTX 4080, excels at 4K. In every test, it delivers ample performance at this resolution, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves 79fps at 4K, compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX."

Upgraded RTX 4080 Super Configuration: $2,264
