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 strongly recommend an RTX 40-series GPU instead.

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

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 discrete NPU, and more power-efficient than previous generations. Upgrading to a Core Ultra 7 or 9 offers minimal performance gains in high-resolution gaming, as performance is largely GPU-bound.

The RTX 4080 Super is Nvidia's second most powerful RTX 40-series card. It delivers high frame rates at 4K resolution, even with ray tracing enabled. It's 5-10% faster than the RTX 4080 due to its higher 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, like the original RTX 4080, excels at 4K. In every test, this GPU delivers exceptional performance at that resolution, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even in games without DLSS or ray tracing, such as Total War: Warhammer 3, the RTX 4080 Super is a powerhouse at 4K, achieving 79fps, compared to 76fps from the RTX 4080 and 86fps from the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX."
