Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2,500. Consider a more readily available RTX 40-series alternative.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: A Great Value at $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 priced at $2,619.99, apply code "DUO20" for a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $1,839.99. The base configuration includes an RTX 4070 Super GPU for $1,699.99; upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600.

The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake processor with a 5.2GHz turbo, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI optimization and power efficiency are noteworthy. 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 performance, even with ray tracing. Its superior 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 is virtually identical to the RTX 5080, with matching VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review Excerpt by Jacqueline Thomas:

"The RTX 4080 Super is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently delivers outstanding performance at this resolution, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing, it's a 4K beast, achieving 79fps in Total War: Warhammer 3 (compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX)."
