RTX 5090 ROG Astral Dhahab Edition / Asus
Asus has released the NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card for lovers of gold, luxury, Emirates, and all that. Of course, it is expensive.
The video card belongs to the flagship Asus ROG Astral series, which is premium and expensive even without additional finishing. Dhahab means «gold» in Arabic. The RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition has the same design as the rest of the series — with four fans, an evaporation chamber, and a massive four-slot heatsink. The kit includes a special metal mounting bracket in gold color.
The «ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 Dhahab Edition is a celebration of the rapid evolution of the Middle East with a unique skyline silhouette that symbolizes the transition from sands to sky. It also introduces ROG’s first quad-fan design combined with a patented evaporation chamber, increased heatsink fin density, phase-shifting GPU thermal pad, high default clock speed, enhanced power supply, and more. These premium innovations, complemented by an attractive die-cast frame and metal GPU bracket, combine to deliver absolute performance that can handle even the most demanding gaming scenarios».
The Dhahab Edition graphics card is covered with Arabic calligraphy, «showing the three main pillars of the region: strength, courage and unity», as well as small designs and patterns. «I hope you will have the courage to buy this expensive graphics card», — jokes VideoCardz.
Given of the ongoing deficit, the obvious limitations and narrow focus of the series almost certainly mean that the declared $3080 is not the limit for this video card. NVIDIA RTX 5090 in some places are offered for more than $9000 without any of the attributes of a luxury brand.
