HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC: A Steal 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, use code "DUO20" for a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $1,839.99.
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz turbo, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI-optimized NPU and power efficiency are notable advantages. While upgrades to Core Ultra 7 or 9 are possible, high-resolution gaming benefits are minimal due to GPU limitations.
The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K performance, even with ray tracing. Its superior clock speed, CUDA core count, and memory bandwidth provide a 5-10% performance edge over the RTX 4080. 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.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas:
"The RTX 4080 Super, like its predecessor, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at high resolutions, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it delivers impressive 4K performance (79fps vs. RTX 4080's 76fps and RX 7900 XTX's 86fps)."
