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

Our review of the new RTX 5080 GPU is out, and the performance is nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super. Worse yet, stock is nonexistent, and pre-built RTX 5080 systems cost over $2,500. If you're considering an upgrade, the RTX 40-series is a much better option.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 is Intel's latest 14-core Meteor Lake CPU, boasting a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. This powerful processor excels in gaming and workstation tasks, is AI-optimized with a dedicated NPU, and consumes less power than previous generations. Upgrading to a Core Ultra 7 or 9 offers minimal gains in high-resolution gaming, as performance is largely GPU-bound.

The RTX 4080 Super is Nvidia's second most powerful RTX 40-series card. It effortlessly handles any game at 4K with high frame rates, even with ray tracing enabled. It's 5-10% faster than the RTX 4080 due to its higher base clock speed, CUDA core count, and memory bandwidth. It rivals AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and where DLSS 3.0 is supported. Its performance is nearly identical to the new RTX 5080, with the same VRAM.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, like the original RTX 4080, is a true 4K graphics card. In every test, it excels at this resolution, especially with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing, as seen in Total War: Warhammer 3, the RTX 4080 Super is a powerhouse at 4K, achieving 79fps compared to the RTX 4080's 76fps and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
