This liquid-cooled PC delivers exceptional value and performance at any resolution.
### HP Omen 35L: Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, RTX 4080 Super, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
Initially priced at $2,619.99, this system boasts an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU (upgradeable to RTX 4080 Super for an additional $600), 16GB DDR5-6000MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4080 Super upgrade brings the pre-discount total to $2,299.99. Apply the "DUO20" coupon for the final price of $1,839.99.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, a 14-core Meteor Lake CPU with a 5.2GHz max turbo frequency, excels in gaming and workstation applications. Its AI optimization (via a dedicated NPU) and power efficiency are noteworthy. While Core Ultra 7 or 9 upgrades are available, 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 gaming performance, even with ray tracing enabled. Its superior clock speed, CUDA core count, and memory bandwidth provide a 5-10% performance boost over the RTX 4080. It rivals AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX, surpassing it in ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 supported titles. Its performance is nearly identical to the RTX 5080, sharing the same VRAM capacity.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, mirroring the original RTX 4080, is a true 4K powerhouse. It consistently excels at this resolution, particularly with Nvidia's DLSS. Even without DLSS or ray tracing (e.g., Total War: Warhammer 3), it achieves impressive 4K performance – 79fps compared to the RTX 4080's 76fps and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX's 86fps."
### HP Omen 35L: Intel Core Ultra 7 285K, RTX 4080 Super, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD
For a slightly higher price ($2,263.99 after the "DUO20" discount, originally $2,899.99), this pre-configured Omen 35L offers significant component upgrades:
The Omen 35L features HP's latest chassis design, prioritizing cooling efficiency in a compact form factor. Its easily upgradable components, dual 140mm intake fans, 120mm rear exhaust fan, and 240mm AIO liquid cooler ensure optimal thermal management.
