Our review for the new RTX 5080 GPU is out, and it turns out that performance is nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super. To make matters worse, it’s impossible to find one in stock, and prebuilt RTX 5080 systems are currently priced over $2,500. If you’re thinking of upgrading, I’d suggest you consider an RTX 40-series GPU instead. For example, HP has an HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for as low as $1,839.99 after you apply a 20% off coupon code “DUO20“. That’s an excellent price for a liquid cooled gaming PC that will handle any game you can throw at it at any resolution.
HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC for $1,840
This particular system is preconfigured with an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $1,699.99. Upgrade to the RTX 4080 Super graphics card for an extra $600, for a total of $2,299.99. Apply 20% off coupon code “DUO20” in your shopping cart to get the final $1,839.99 price.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 is the latest generation Intel Meteor Lake 14-core CPU with a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. This is a very capable processor that’s a solid pick for both gaming and workstation tasks, is AI optimized thanks to a discrete NPU, and uses less power than previous generation CPUs. You have the option of upgrading to a Core Ultra 7 or even a 9, but you won’t see much of an improvement in high resolution gaming, since performance is mostly GPU-bound.
The RTX 4080 Super is Nvidia’s second most powerful RTX 40 series card. You’ll be able to handle any game in 4K at high frame rates, even with ray tracing enabled. It’s 5-10% faster in performance than the RTX 4080 thanks to its higher base clock speed, higher CUDA core count, and higher memory bandwidth. It trades blows with AMD’s most powerful GPU, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, but the RTX 4080 Super pulls ahead in ray tracing performance and where DLSS 3.0 is supported. It’s nearly identical in performance to the new RTX 5080 GPU and also has the same amount of VRAM.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas
“The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, just like the original RTX 4080, is a 4K graphics card through and through. In every test, this GPU excels at that high resolution with plenty of room to spare, especially if you utilize Nvidia’s DLSS. Even in games without DLSS or ray tracing, like Total War: Warhammer 3, the RTX 4080 Super is a monster at 4K, scoring 79fps, compared to 76 from the RTX 4080 and 86 from the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.”

What’s new about the Omen 35L?
The Omen 35L is HP’s newest chassis, and it is redesigned to provide ample amounts of cooling in a smaller design. Most of the internal components are now off-the-shelf form factors that can be more easily swapped and upgraded on your own. The front panel contains two 140mm intake fans with sufficient ventilation, and a 120mm rear fan and top-mounted 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system serves as the exhaust, while also siphoning heat away from the CPU.
