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 $2500. Consider an RTX 40-series alternative. For instance, HP offers an Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1839.99 with the code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled PC delivers exceptional performance at any resolution.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: $1840

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

This pre-configured system features an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU (upgradeable to RTX 4080 Super for an additional $600), 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD, initially priced at $1699.99. The RTX 4080 Super upgrade brings the total to $2299.99, reduced to $1839.99 with the "DUO20" coupon.

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

The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K gaming performance, even with ray tracing enabled. Its higher clock speed, CUDA core count, and memory bandwidth provide a 5-10% performance boost over the RTX 4080. It rivals AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0-supported titles. Performance is virtually identical to the RTX 5080, with matching VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"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 (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves impressive 4K performance—79fps, compared to the RTX 4080's 76fps and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
