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

The base configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU, 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $1,699.99. Upgrading to the RTX 4080 Super adds $600, totaling $2,299.99 before the discount.
The Intel Core Ultra 5, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation tasks. Its AI optimization and lower power consumption are significant advantages. Upgrading to a Core Ultra 7 or 9 offers minimal gaming performance gains at high resolutions.
The RTX 4080 Super, Nvidia's second-most powerful RTX 40-series card, delivers exceptional 4K performance, even with ray tracing enabled. It surpasses the RTX 4080 by 5-10%, thanks to higher clock speeds and memory bandwidth. It rivals the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, outperforming 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 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super is a true 4K powerhouse. Its performance at this resolution is exceptional, especially with DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing, it's a monster at 4K, achieving 79fps in Total War: Warhammer 3 (compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX)."
