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. Stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2,500. Consider an RTX 40-series alternative.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: $1,839.99

This HP Omen 35L boasts an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Originally $2,619.99, use code "DUO20" for a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $1,839.99. The base configuration features an RTX 4070 Super GPU; upgrading to the 4080 Super adds $600.

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 power efficiency are noteworthy. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades are available, 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 performance, even with ray tracing. Its higher clock speed, CUDA core count, and memory bandwidth provide a 5-10% advantage over the RTX 4080, rivaling the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, particularly in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 scenarios. Its performance mirrors the RTX 5080, sharing the same VRAM capacity.

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 achieves impressive 4K performance (79fps vs. RTX 4080's 76fps and RX 7900 XTX's 86fps)."
