Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super, yet stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2,500. For upgrades, consider the RTX 40-series. HP offers an Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1,839.99 with the code "DUO20". This liquid-cooled PC excels at any game and 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" coupon for the $1,839.99 price.
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz turbo, is ideal for gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and lower power consumption are key advantages. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades exist, high-resolution gaming benefits are minimal due to GPU limitations.
The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers high frame rates at 4K, 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 AMD's 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 the RTX 4080, excels at 4K. Every test showcased its high-resolution capabilities, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it's a 4K powerhouse, scoring 79fps compared to the RTX 4080's 76fps and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
