A hydraulic camshaft adjuster for adjusting the control times of gas exchange valves of an engine is provided. A stator is rotatable synchronously with a crankshaft of the engine. A rotor is arranged so as to be rotatable relative to the stator, and is rotatable synchronously with a camshaft. A plurality of ribs are provided on the stator, dividing an annular chamber between the stator and the rotor into a plurality of pressure chambers. A rotor hub and a plurality of blades extend radially outward from the rotor hub, dividing the pressure chambers into two working chambers having different effective directions. An additional connectable pressure booster is provided at least in an effective direction of the hydraulic camshaft adjuster. The pressure booster can boost the rotor when active.
