HP's Omen RTX 4080 PC: Performance Rivaling RTX 5080 at a Lower Cost

Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance virtually identical to the RTX 4080 Super. Stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2500. Consider a superior value with the RTX 40-series.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: A Great Deal at $1,840

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 coupon code "DUO20" for a 30% discount, bringing the price down to $1,839.99.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation applications. Its AI optimization and power efficiency are notable 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 gaming performance, even with ray tracing enabled. 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 Excerpt by Jacqueline Thomas:

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at high resolutions, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing, it delivers impressive performance; for example, scoring 79fps in Total War: Warhammer 3 (compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX)."
