ROG’s 20th Anniversary Surprise
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Republic of Gamers brand, Asus has unveiled a range of unusual products, from the ROG Xbox Ally X20 to a limited version of the ROG NUC 16 mini PC to the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20.
Bigger & Faster Design
The limited edition not only looks far more eye-catching than the regular ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090, the graphics card is also larger. This is because the Edition 20 measures 36.1 x 13.9 x 9.4 centimeters, which is 4.7 slots thick according to Asus. Asus combines a 12-volt high-power power connector with its own BTF power supply via the mainboard, which means that the graphics card can be supplied with up to 800 watts of power in total. This should be enough to achieve a GPU clock of up to 2,760 MHz. For comparison: Nvidia specifies a boost clock of 2,410 MHz, while the older ROG Astral achieves 2,610 MHz, making the Limited Edition around 5.7 percent faster on paper.
Cooling and Exclusive Features
To maintain this performance even during longer gaming sessions, Asus installs four fans, which are combined with liquid metal, a vapor chamber and copper heat pipes as heat conductors. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 is also intended to set itself apart from other graphics cards with its exclusive design. To this end, Asus has installed a transparent glass backplate that provides a view of the mainboard and also includes a removable, curved AMOLED display that can display content via a corner of the graphics card, giving it a 3D appearance.
Display & Availability
In addition to 3D graphics, the display can also show information on the system load. Asus has not yet commented on the price or availability of the graphics card. Further information can be found on the official product page.
