Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance virtually identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2500. For upgrades, consider the RTX 40-series. HP offers an Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1839.99 with code "DUO20" – a remarkable price for a liquid-cooled system handling any game 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, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $1699.99. Upgrade to the RTX 4080 Super for $600 ($2299.99 total). Apply the 20% off code "DUO20" for the final $1839.99 price.
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 lower power consumption are key advantages. 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 high frame rates at 4K, even with ray tracing. Its superior base 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 scenarios. 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, like the 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 delivers exceptional 4K performance (79fps vs. RTX 4080's 76fps and RX 7900 XTX's 86fps)."
