Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance virtually identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems cost over $2,500. Consider an RTX 40-series alternative. For instance, HP offers an Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1,839.99 with the code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled PC excels at any game and resolution.
HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: $1,840
HP Omen 35L: Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, RTX 4080 Super, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
Initially priced at $2,619.99 (after a 30% discount), this configuration includes 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. Applying the 20% off coupon code "DUO20" at checkout brings the final price to $1,839.99.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, is ideal for gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and lower power consumption 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 performance at high frame rates, even with ray tracing. 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. Its performance is nearly 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 this resolution, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves impressive 4K performance, scoring 79fps compared to the RTX 4080's 76fps and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
