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 upgrades, 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 PC delivers exceptional performance at any 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 $2,619.99, this system (Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, 512GB SSD) is discounted to $1,839.99 after a $600 RTX 4080 Super upgrade and applying the "DUO20" coupon (20% off).
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU (5.2GHz max turbo), excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and power efficiency are noteworthy. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades are available, 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 gaming at high frame rates, even with ray tracing. Its superior 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 nearly identical to the RTX 5080, with equivalent VRAM.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas:
"The RTX 4080 Super, like the RTX 4080, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at this resolution, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it's a 4K beast, achieving 79fps versus the RTX 4080's 76fps and the RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
