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 instead.
HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: A Steal 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, use code "DUO20" for a 30% discount, bringing the price down to $1,839.99.
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI optimization and power efficiency are significant improvements. Upgrading to a Core Ultra 7 or 9 offers minimal gaming gains at high resolutions.
The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K performance, even with ray tracing enabled. It surpasses the RTX 4080 by 5-10%, rivaling the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but with superior ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 support. Its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 5080, with matching VRAM.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas:
"The RTX 4080 Super, like its predecessor, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently delivers exceptional performance at this resolution, particularly with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves 79fps at 4K, outperforming the RTX 4080 (76fps) and closely matching the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (86fps)."
