Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2500. For a cost-effective 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.
Initially priced at $2,619.99, this system (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD) is available for $1,839.99 after a 20% discount using code "DUO20". The RTX 4080 Super upgrade adds $600 to the base $1699.99 configuration (with an RTX 4070 Super).
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, is ideal for gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and power efficiency are notable advantages. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades exist, 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 enabled. 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 virtually identical to the RTX 5080, with matching VRAM.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas:
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, like its RTX 4080 predecessor, 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 achieves impressive 4K performance (79fps vs. RTX 4080's 76fps and RX 7900 XTX's 86fps)."
For a slightly higher price ($2263.99 after the "DUO20" discount, originally $2899.99), this pre-built Omen 35L offers significant component upgrades:
The Omen 35L features HP's latest chassis design, prioritizing cooling in a compact form factor. Its easily upgradable components, dual 140mm intake fans, 120mm rear fan, and 240mm AIO liquid cooler ensure efficient heat dissipation.
