Don't Wait for an RTX 5080: The HP Omen RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC Is Just as Powerful for Less

Our review for the new RTX 5080 GPU reveals that its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find in stock, and prebuilt RTX 5080 systems are currently priced over $2,500. If you're considering an upgrade, we recommend looking into an RTX 40-series GPU instead. For instance, HP offers an HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1,839.99 after applying a 20% off coupon code "DUO20". This is an excellent price for a liquid-cooled gaming PC capable of handling any game at any resolution.

This preconfigured system comes with an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $1,699.99. Upgrade to the RTX 4080 Super graphics card for an additional $600, bringing the total to $2,299.99. Use the 20% off coupon code "DUO20" in your shopping cart to achieve the final price of $1,839.99.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 is part of the latest generation Intel Meteor Lake CPUs, featuring 14 cores and a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. It's highly capable for both gaming and workstation tasks, optimized for AI with a discrete NPU, and consumes less power than its predecessors. You can opt for a Core Ultra 7 or 9, though the performance gain at high resolutions is minimal, as it's mostly GPU-bound.

The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second most powerful RTX 40 series card, excels at 4K gaming with high frame rates, even when ray tracing is enabled. It offers a 5-10% performance boost over the RTX 4080 due to its higher base clock speed, increased CUDA core count, and higher memory bandwidth. It competes closely with AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX but leads in ray tracing performance and where DLSS 3.0 is supported. It's nearly identical in performance to the new RTX 5080 GPU and matches its VRAM capacity.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, much like the original RTX 4080, is designed for 4K gaming. In every test, this GPU excels at that resolution, particularly when using Nvidia's DLSS. Even in games without DLSS or ray tracing, such as Total War: Warhammer 3, the RTX 4080 Super performs exceptionally at 4K, achieving 79fps compared to 76fps from the RTX 4080 and 86fps from the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX."
