ASUS GeForce RTX 5090 Astral OC

W1zzard · 2025-01-24T13:39:16+0000

The ASUS GeForce RTX 5090 Astral is the company's $2800 flagship RTX 5090 model. It comes with a massive quad-slot, quad-fan cooling solution that weighs over 3 kilograms! Thanks to the large factory overclock it can deliver additional performance and temperatures are very low.

I've never been so early. Get some rest soon my dude!

That "But expensive" badge you put on it at the end is doing a lot of heavy lifting!

Gaming = > 621w
Ray-Tracing = > 454w

This doesn't make sense?

@W1zzard

Conclusion:

The ASUS GeForce RTX 5090 Suprim SOC will sell for $2800.

$2800.. Damn..

Legacy-ZA · 2025-01-24T14:05:36+0000

For a LOUD, giant card with 25w of extra headroom... TF is Asus thinking???

curtisdodo · 2025-01-24T14:07:21+0000

Why don't you talk about the coil whine?!

Extra headroom AND a second HDMI socket!

Visually nice looking card (or astral line in general). The ASUS tax has always been high, but this is raising the bar. I expected most AIB cards to be around $2499, which is already a steep markup over msrp when the FE card is quite good when it comes to cooling for its overall size. Very disappointing.

Shitsus tax on top of nGreedia tax and give it some time for the "AI" craze to bleed stocks dry and push prices even higher.

Need another one that looks crushed.

Nvidia already has a 75.86% gross profit margin themselves. I'm sure it's much higher on their 90 series but let's use that as a baseline. This means this card costs them $482.80 to produce. Asus wants to sell it for $2,800. 82.76% gross profit margin. This turns me off from the entire brand.

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · 2025-01-24T14:15:56+0000

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.

hsew · 2025-01-24T14:16:04+0000

That's a price tag that was set in anticipation for the scalpers at launch.

Gasaraki · 2025-01-24T14:19:40+0000

I'm surprised it got a recommendation. The price is nonsense. You can get a whole new video card for that extra money.

Selaya · 2025-01-24T14:19:50+0000

$800 of rogtax
man asus' really losing their minds
EDIT: and its hotter than the suprim too. yikes.

Daven · 2025-01-24T14:23:52+0000

This card will probably shoot up to $4000 once the initial stock is gone. And by initial stock, I'm talking about 3-4 cards per vendor.

Where are these percentages sourced from?

quad fans? am I missing something....?

*flips card over*

o0o0o0o0o0o....ok lolz

Just imagine if Asus decides to do a 5090 Matrix Platinum (the 4090's MSRP was $3200, so double the MSRP of the FE). Yikes.

Hereticbar · 2025-01-24T14:32:48+0000

Whatever people want to say about the Nvidia RTX 5090 FE, it manages to look 10 times better and costing $800 less than whatever this thing from Asus is.

BigMack70 · 2025-01-24T14:36:26+0000

I want to criticize the price tag, because it's completely stupid and unjustifiable from a customer's perspective, but ASUS know their market - these will probably be among the highest demand SKUs and be unobtainable for a long time.

I just hope some third party MSRP models are available.
