Our review for the new RTX 5080 GPU reveals that its performance closely matches that of the RTX 4080 Super. Adding to the disappointment, the RTX 5080 is scarce in stock, and prebuilt systems featuring it are priced over $2,500. If you're considering an upgrade, the RTX 40-series GPUs are a more practical choice. For instance, you can snag an HP Omen 35L RTX 4080 Super gaming PC for just $1,839.99 after applying the 20% off coupon code "DUO20". This is an exceptional deal for a liquid-cooled gaming PC capable of running any game at any resolution.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 is part of Intel's latest Meteor Lake series, featuring a 14-core CPU with a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. It's ideal for both gaming and workstation tasks, optimized for AI with a dedicated NPU, and more energy-efficient than its predecessors. While you can upgrade to a Core Ultra 7 or 9, the difference in high-resolution gaming performance is minimal as it's largely dependent on the GPU.
The RTX 4080 Super stands as Nvidia's second most powerful RTX 40 series card, capable of handling any game at 4K with high frame rates, even with ray tracing enabled. It offers a 5-10% performance boost over the RTX 4080 due to higher base clock speed, more CUDA cores, and increased memory bandwidth. It competes closely with AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX but excels in ray tracing and where DLSS 3.0 is supported. Its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 5080, with the same VRAM capacity.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, like its predecessor, the RTX 4080, is designed for 4K gaming. It performs exceptionally well at this resolution, particularly when utilizing Nvidia's DLSS. In games without DLSS or ray tracing, such as Total War: Warhammer 3, the RTX 4080 Super achieves 79fps at 4K, compared to 76fps for the RTX 4080 and 86fps for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX."
