The HP Memorial Day Sale has officially commenced. This is a rare opportunity for those of you looking to upgrade your gaming rig. Score some great deals on HP’s Omen gaming desktop PCs – including the flagship Omen 45L with RTX 5090 GPU – and HP’s Omen gaming laptops – including the recently released Omen Max, which features better build quality and more aggressive cooling than the Omen 16. Compared to Dell or Lenovo, HP usually has the lowest absolute price on equivalently spec’d systems. With tariffs looming heavy on everyone’s minds and Nvidia’s supposed plans to raise GPU prices in the near future, I don’t expect prices to drop any lower until the holiday season at the end of the year.
HP Omen 35L RTX 4070 Super Gaming PC for $1,350
HP’s best Memorial Day gaming PC deal for most people is this Omen 35L system equipped with a GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card. The RTX 4070 Super is an excellent GPU for gaming at 1080p or 1440p and will run even the newest games at 60fps and beyond at these resolutions. With DLSS enabled, the 4070 Super could even be a great affordable option for 4K gaming. Compared to the Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, the RTX 4070 Super is roughly on par with the RTX 5070 and is considerably more powerful than the RTX 5060 Ti.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU Review by Jacqueline Thomas
“The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the graphics card we should have got back when Nvidia first released its 4000-series cards. Performance is significantly improved over the original RTX 4070, along with more VRAM that should make the graphics card a little bit more future-proof. If you are in the market for a GPU and you have a budget, this is the best graphics card on the market for you.”
HP Omen 45L RTX 5090 Prebuilt Gaming PC for $4,190
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is still nigh impossible to find a standalone GPU, and your best bet is to get it pre-installed in a ready-made gaming computer. HP is offering an RTX 5090 gaming PC for under $4,200 for Memorial Day. That’s over $700 less than the next best price I’ve found online.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE Review by Jackie Thomas
“The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has officially taken the performance crown from the RTX 4090, but with less force than previous generations. When it comes to traditional non-AI gaming performance, the RTX 5090 provides one of the smallest generational uplifts in recent memory. However, in games that support it, DLSS 4 really does deliver huge performance gains – you just have to make your peace with the fact that 75% of the frames are generated with AI.”
HP Omen Max 16″ RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop for $2,800
HP is also offering a big discount on an Omen Max 16 gaming laptop equipped with the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU for Memorial Day. The Omen Max is HP’s newest gaming laptop for 2025; it is essentially the Omen 16 but with better materials (including an aluminum-magnesium alloy chassis and lid) and a beefier cooling system to accommodate more powerful, current generation hardware. Both GPUs represent a healthy uplift in performance compared to the RTX 40 series cards, with the RTX 5070 Ti comparable to the RTX 4080 and the RTX 5080 surpassing the RTX 4090.
According to Tom’s Hardware, the RTX 5080 mobile GPU is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4080 mobile GPU that it replaces. It also happens to be about 5% more powerful than the RTX 4090, which was the previous generation’s flagship card. The RTX 5080 appears to be a better value than the much pricier RTX 5090 as well. It only lags by about 15% despite being nearly $1,000 cheaper. This GPU should be able to run new and upcoming games at high framerates even on the display’s 2560×1600 native resolution.
HP Omen 35L RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC from $2,040
HP is offering three different HP Omen 35L desktop systems equipped with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card on sale for Memorial Day. The primary difference between these three models is the processor. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G starts at $2,040, the Intel Core i5-14400F starts at $2,090, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225F starts at $2,150. Note that all three systems are configurable and you can opt to upgrade the processor or increase the RAM and storage space for an extra cost.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU Review by Jacqueline Thomas
“At $749, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the best 4K graphics card for most people, delivering much better value than either the RTX 5080 or 5090. Across my entire test suite, this GPU soared at 4K, coming within striking distance of much more expensive graphics cards, and that’s before taking multi frame generation into account, which will make the RTX 5070 Ti even better at hitting extremely high framerates, albeit with a hit to latency.”
