Sometimes I wish I were colourblind. Especially when checking again that product photo

If you have a case thats Entirely metal and you can’t see inside I guess it could be acceptable.

_roman_ · 2025-02-06T06:50:02+0000

You will still see those gold connector bracket from outside which will remind you of it'S fabulous choices of the colour palette

All the articles about the RTX 5090 could also be about a "working" quantum computer: no one has seen it, but everyone offers different models LOL

AusWolf · 2025-02-06T07:11:55+0000

What a waste of sand. *da-bum-ts*

Chomiq · 2025-02-06T08:03:12+0000

I might not like the price but I do like the way the card looks, it's different.

Some Sheik's son will be very happy

Tomgang · 2025-02-06T08:15:46+0000

Why am i thinking this could just as well had come from sutten president. Gold shoes any one?

Julhes · 2025-02-06T09:47:29+0000

Je veux la même avec une couleur jambon beurre, la cathédrale de Paris et la basilique St Pierre sur la plaque arrière. Merci d'avance.

This is just tasteless on so many levels...

What? Why? You're making a moral judgment based on what?

Because it is ...to me.

Ok, you do you, don't be such a kill-joy about it.

Decadence.

Not trying to be a kill-joy about it. Was just stating my mind.

Good grief people, calm down.

A limited edition of a limited edition card?

Funny right?

TheDeeGee · 2025-02-06T10:52:37+0000

I wouldn't even enter a giveaway for this, just because of the ASUS (tm) Coil Whine.

Now that is one ugly card. I can see how gold obsessed people would like it I guess.

Gold has the best thermal transfer!!!
So this has to be the coolest card in history!

Outback Bronze · 2025-02-06T11:24:30+0000

Does it win this award?

I wouldn't say that it's just an Asus thing. At least my current 3080 doesn't have any, but back in the day my Gigabyte GTX 470 SOC sounded like a swarm of grasshoppers.

IMO coil whine is just bad luck, no matter the AIB.

Considering the underlying hardware, it would hardly qualify as a turd.

It's not a moral judgement, but an aesthetic one. And I agree with @azrael, it is tasteless, just as much as a golden Lamborghini Murcielago is (even just the image in my head makes me retch).

Bwaze · 2025-02-06T11:43:11+0000

Aesop's Fables, The Fox and the Grapes comes to mind.

It's sour anyway.

Onasi · 2025-02-06T11:52:51+0000

It’s actually not THAT tasteless. Don’t get me wrong, not my cup of tea, but at least it’s not ostentatiously glossy gold and chrome. This real, slightly faded gold and turquoise combination is reminiscent of the Ancient Egypt stylistic which isn’t the worst thing in the world. Is it still tacky? Sure. But, genuinely, not significantly more so than almost all of the other GPU designs out there. What, we are going to pretend that the regular black and red angular “xxx666xxxSatan1cxxxGamingOCTurbo” aesthetic is any more tasteful? Please. Anyone who wants an actually reasonably aesthetically pleasing piece of industrial design should just grab the FE.

Kinda comes off as a moral judgment given the use of the word "tasteless".

Regardless, this card is cool looking. I hope they a similar thing with with the 5080 & 5070.
