HP Omen RTX 4080 Super PC: Powerhouse Performance Without the RTX 5080 Wait

Our RTX 5080 GPU review reveals performance nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super, but with abysmal stock availability and pre-built systems exceeding $2500. Consider a superior value proposition: the HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC.

HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: $1,840

HP Omen 35L Specs (RTX 4080 Super Config): Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 Super GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Originally $2,619.99, use code "DUO20" for a 30% discount, bringing the price down to $1,839.99. A base configuration with an RTX 4070 Super is available for $1,699.99.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation applications. Its AI optimization and power efficiency are noteworthy. 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 gaming performance, even with ray tracing enabled. It surpasses the RTX 4080 by 5-10%, boasting higher clock speeds, CUDA cores, and memory bandwidth. It rivals the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but holds an edge in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 support. Its performance is virtually identical to the RTX 5080, with matching VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review Excerpt (Jacqueline Thomas): The RTX 4080 Super shines at 4K, consistently exceeding expectations, particularly with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing, its 4K performance is impressive (e.g., 79fps in Total War: Warhammer 3).

Upgraded HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Config: $2,264

This enhanced configuration features: Intel Core Ultra 7 285K CPU, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 4.0, Windows 11 Pro, and an enhanced 240mm LCD liquid cooler. Originally priced at $2,899.99, the "DUO20" code reduces the cost to $2,263.99.

The redesigned Omen 35L chassis prioritizes cooling efficiency in a compact form factor, utilizing readily upgradable, off-the-shelf components. Its ventilation system includes dual 140mm intake fans, a 120mm rear fan, and a top-mounted 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler.
