Don't Wait for an RTX 5080: The HP Omen RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC Is Just as Powerful for Less

Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance virtually identical to the RTX 4080 Super, but with abysmal stock availability and pre-built systems exceeding $2,500. Consider an RTX 40-series alternative.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: A Stellar Deal at $1,839.99

This HP Omen 35L boasts an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Originally priced at $2,619.99, apply coupon code "DUO20" for a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $1,839.99. This liquid-cooled powerhouse handles any game at any resolution.

The base configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (14-core Meteor Lake CPU, 5.2GHz max turbo), a highly capable processor optimized for AI and boasting lower power consumption than predecessors. While upgrades to Core Ultra 7 or 9 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 performance, even with ray tracing enabled. Outperforming the RTX 4080 by 5-10% (higher clock speed, CUDA cores, memory bandwidth), 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.

Jacqueline Thomas's Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review:

"The RTX 4080 Super, like its predecessor, excels at 4K. In all tests, it delivers ample performance at this resolution, particularly with 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."

Upgraded RTX 4080 Super Omen 35L: $2,263.99

For a slightly higher price ($2,263.99 after the "DUO20" coupon), this pre-configured Omen 35L offers significant upgrades:

• Intel Core Ultra 7 285K CPU (upgrade from Intel Core Ultra 5)
• 32GB RAM (upgrade from 16GB)
• 2TB SSD (upgrade from 512GB SSD)
• WiFi 7 & Bluetooth 4.0 (upgrade from WiFi 6 & Bluetooth 5.3)
• Windows 11 Pro (upgrade from Windows 11 Home)
• 240mm LCD liquid cooler (upgrade from 240mm aRGB liquid cooler)

The New Omen 35L Chassis:

HP's redesigned Omen 35L chassis offers superior cooling in a compact design. Easily upgradable components, two 140mm intake fans, a 120mm rear fan, and a top-mounted 240mm AIO liquid cooler ensure efficient heat dissipation.
