Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance virtually identical to the RTX 4080 Super. Stock is scarce, and pre-built systems exceed $2500. Consider a superior value with an RTX 40-series instead.
HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: $1839.99
This HP Omen 35L boasts an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Originally $2619.99, use code "DUO20" for a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $1839.99. The base configuration (with RTX 4070 Super) starts at $1699.99.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz turbo, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and power efficiency are notable 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-tier RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K performance, even with ray tracing enabled. It surpasses the RTX 4080 by 5-10%, thanks to higher clock speeds, CUDA cores, and memory bandwidth. It rivals AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX, outperforming 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 Excerpt (Jacqueline Thomas):
"The RTX 4080 Super, like its predecessor, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at this resolution, particularly 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)."
