Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance virtually identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $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 delivers exceptional value and performance at any 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
This configuration starts at $1,699.99 (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD). Upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600, totaling $2,299.99. Apply the "DUO20" code for the final $1,839.99 price.
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and power efficiency are notable 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 exceptional 4K performance, 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 the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 supported titles. Its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 5080, sharing the same VRAM capacity.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas:
"The RTX 4080 Super, like the RTX 4080, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at this resolution, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves impressive 4K performance (79fps vs. RTX 4080's 76fps and RX 7900 XTX's 86fps)."
