HP Omen RTX 4080 Super PC Rivals RTX 5080 at Lower Cost

Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super, but with significantly worse availability and a hefty price tag exceeding $2,500 for pre-built systems. For a superior value, consider an RTX 40-series alternative.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: A Stellar Deal at $1,839.99

This HP Omen 35L, featuring an RTX 4080 Super, is available for just $1,839.99 after a 20% discount using code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled powerhouse handles any game at any resolution with ease. The base configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, a GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI optimization and power efficiency are notable improvements. While upgrades to Core Ultra 7 or 9 are possible, the gains in high-resolution gaming are minimal due to GPU limitations.

The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K performance, even with ray tracing enabled. It surpasses the RTX 4080 by 5-10%, boasting higher clock speeds, CUDA cores, and memory bandwidth. It rivals AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but holds an advantage in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 support. Its performance is virtually identical to the RTX 5080, with matching VRAM.

Jacqueline Thomas's Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review:

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, mirroring the original RTX 4080, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at high resolutions, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing, its 4K performance is impressive, achieving 79fps in Total War: Warhammer 3 (compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX)."
