ASUS GeForce RTX 5090 Astral OC

[Legacy-ZA]

Urgh, I see that we will only see the RTX5080 board partners reviews on the day the cards release, how the heck are we supposed to make a informed purchasing decision in time? :/

 

[Macro Device]

Maybe CPU limited in Ray-Tracing?

Rather CUDA cores themselves are relaxing because RT cores can't catch up. This is precisely what happens on ALL AMD GPUs if you enable even mediocre RT, you have about zero FPS and about zero wattage at the same time. nVidia haven't improved RT performance enough.

Is this card in stock at any online retailers in the EU? I'm interested for how much they listed the card.

For customers in the EU, the RTX 5090 release date is Thursday, January 30, 2025.

4% more fps for 5% more clocks hmm ?
too bad it seems nvidia purposefully limited the card's power to maybe allow for a flagship titan card

 

[Enterprise24]

I still remember when non ref cards cost only $20-$30 more than msrp...

Where are these percentages sourced from?

NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2025

NVIDIA today reported revenue for the first quarter ended April 28, 2024, of $26.0 billion, up 18% from the previous quarter and up 262% from a year ago.

nvidianews.nvidia.com

I used annual, but their latest quarterly shows 78.4% for GAAP. Up from 66.8% a year prior. They've been increasing prices without their cost being increased.

It’s basically at the limit of a single 12vhpwr connector already and spikes well above 600w, it would require a second power connector otherwise.

Sadly I think it’s somewhat reasonable considering the cooling limitations.

 

[Pepamami]

does it also have awful Coil Whine, like previous Strix got?

yeah I think that's a big thing, but obviously can depend sample to sample, as not all cards will have the issue, so sometimes it's difficult for a reviewer to lump that in

My RTX 4090 Strix has no coil whine.

 

[JronMasteR]

Asus is monitoring the 12v lines of the power connector like they did on the matrix. That's something though

Anyways, I will just leave this golden oldie here:

I swear, people who buy an exact same GPU die under a heatsink with "EXTREME LEET GAMER XXX" branding on it for $800 more is truly special in the head.

Respectfully disagree my friend. I bought the ROG Strix card last generation and sold it after 18 months of use at almost no loss. These things are quite sought after.

That said, I intended to buy this specific type of 5090, but now I'm not so sure. $2800 is way too steep - it won't lower - and it seems ASUS failed to have it top every single chart as the previous ROG designs did. Guess MSI is looking pretty alright this gen.

 

[mkppo]

2800 is very obviously a price set by ASUS to take some of the scalper profits, I guess it all but confirms the lack of availability.

Not paying them a cent though, makes no difference to me if i'm paying scalper prices to ASUS or a random dude. Release the X870 Apex instead for less than $750 and you have my money. It's more exciting than this overpriced and frankly unexciting thing that doesn't overclock well at all because the power limit is real.

$2300 is the absolute most any AIB should charge but here we are. Now bring on a version with 2 of those terrible power connectors and we might be talking about a bigger than $300 hike.

I got few in my hands, both had whine like this

which is awful, I wonder is this one had the same coil whine, coz of lack of capacitors.

I watched many youtube vids, its mostly all the same.

I had the 4080 Strix, but there was zero coil whine on it.

ASTRAL.
LMAO. Nice one ASUS!!

That's weird. Mine doesn't sound like this. Probably the PSU is also a factor or ... lottery.

Or that , yes.

His source is he made them the fuck up.

 

[Broken Processor]

Sorry but anyone paying 2800 for what's essentially a 4090ti is brain dead imo. It may be the fastest gaming card but that doesn't make it a good product. This stinks of Ferni all over again.

And no DLSS 4 doesn't add anything except latency because the card isn't generating frames real frames per second. I've watched a lot of DLSS 4 videos and that tech is going to do major harm to gaming imo. I can't speak for anyone else but I'm not playing a game with 50nm plus latency. I can only imagine the experience 5060 and 5070 are in for.

 

[Mr_Engineer]

I can understand if the card is 10-15% or so higher in price compared to reference. But 40% more expensive for a better cooler and 2-5% performance increase? That's just crazy.

 

[evernessince]

Incredible performance for a $2800 card and DLSS4 on it...

for comparison, you can get this one for that price before tax in my country

we need a new batch for today technology and price mr @W1zzard , "But Ridiculous"

At this point they need to do badge variants with the "But Expensive" badge. A bronze, silver, and gold version each with collective more cash stack and you go up in badge level.

For the $800 markup I can have a custom metal design cut and made.

 

[Hattu]

$2800 + mark up + 25.5% taxes. Gotta love living in Finland.
