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 a smart upgrade, consider the RTX 40-series. For instance, HP offers an Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1839.99 with the code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled powerhouse excels at any game and 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
Initially priced at $2619.99, this configuration (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD) is available for $1839.99 after a 30% discount and applying the "DUO20" coupon. The RTX 4080 Super upgrade adds $600 to the base price of $1699.99.
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo, is ideal for gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and power efficiency are notable advantages. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades 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, even with ray tracing. Outperforming the RTX 4080 by 5-10% due to higher clock speeds and memory bandwidth, it rivals the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 scenarios. Its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 5080, sharing the same VRAM capacity.
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, particularly with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), its 4K performance is impressive, achieving 79fps compared to the RTX 4080's 76fps and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
Upgraded RTX 4080 Super Configuration: $2264
HP Omen 35L: Intel Core Ultra 7 285K, RTX 4080 Super, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD
