Overclocking Beast: HP Omen RTX 4080 Super PC Rivals RTX 5080 at Lower Cost

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. For upgrades, consider the RTX 40-series 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 512GB SSD. Initially priced at $2,619.99, apply the 20% off coupon code "DUO20" for a final price of $1,839.99. This liquid-cooled powerhouse handles any game flawlessly at any resolution.

The base configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, RTX 4070 Super, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $1,699.99. Upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600, bringing the pre-discount total to $2,299.99.

The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and lower power consumption are key advantages. While upgrades to Core Ultra 7 or 9 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 at high frame rates, even with ray tracing. Outperforming the RTX 4080 by 5-10%, 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, 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 excels at high resolutions, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it delivers impressive 4K performance (79fps vs. RTX 4080's 76fps and RX 7900 XTX's 86fps)."
