ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 Gaming Graphics Card (PCIe® 5.0, 32GB GDDR7, HDMI®/DP 2.1, 3.8-Slot, 4-Fan Design, Axial-tech Fans, Patented Vapor Chamber, Phase-Change GPU Thermal pad)

I’m running the ASUS ROG Astral 5090 OC Edition on an open test bench specifically to push overclocked 3DMark runs, and this card has blown past my expectations. The air cooling is outstanding. For a GPU in this performance class, the Astral’s cooler is genuinely impressive. Even under sustained, heavily overclocked loads, temperatures stay well under control with no signs of thermal throttling. On an open bench it runs surprisingly quiet, and the fans ramp smoothly instead of aggressively. Clocks hold consistently during long benchmark runs, and there’s none of the erratic behavior you sometimes see once power and thermals are stressed. Power delivery feels rock solid, which makes dialing in higher clocks much easier and more repeatable. This has easily become the best air-cooled GPU I’ve ever used for benchmarking. I’m setting my highest 3DMark scores to date on air alone, and the card still feels like it has headroom left.

Installation was just like any other GPU. No issues out of box, and still runs fine after around a month of use on a 4k setup. I play games (Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, COD, Dying Light the Beast), VR, and do a few renders every so often. Temps have been alright for me. All in all a great GPU and the 32 GB of Vram really shows. Very big, but fits in my case no problem (Phanteks Evolve X). The LED strip is a nice touch.

The box and shipping: box showed signs of wear, looks like 2 stickers were partially ripped off and the filds near edges were slightly bent. Inside the second cardboard box had some scuff marks but no other signs the product "wasn't new." The product: The card is huge. Absolutely a shock going from a tuf 4070TIS. I knew 5090s were big, but this is massive. Please keep in mind your case dimensions when buying this. Oh and make sure to leave room for your cable to safely bend. Performance: works great, I upgraded from a asus 4070 Ti Super, and there certainly is improved performance. Fake frames are okay, they don't look bad, however there is a very slight input lag when on 4X frame generation on cyberpunk. Thermals: I undervolted, and kept monitoring my temps and will do so until Nvidea replaces or fixes the 12 pin connector issues. It's a shame that some 5090s have a risk of melting when used on factory settings. The highest Pin voltage (which is nice that the Astral tracks) was 8.7, a little high, and my highest temp was 67 under load. This was after my undervolt, so I might lower it again just to be safe.

This RTX 5090 is a beast, plain and simple. If you’re just browsing the web, watching videos, or playing basic games, this card is complete overkill. But if you’re like me and running a triple-screen sim rig with everything maxed out, while streaming at high quality, this is exactly what you want in your build. I’m using this in a triple 32-inch 1440p setup with a 1440p ultrawide up top for telemetry and controls. Running titles like Le Mans Ultimate, iRacing, and Assetto Corsa Competizione, the 5090 barely breaks a sweat. Ultra settings across the board, full ray tracing, heavy ReShade overlays — and still pushing high frame rates with headroom to spare. Streaming to OBS while running overlays, VRS telemetry, and browser extensions? No lag. No stutter. No dropped frames. The performance uplift compared to my previous 4080 Super is unreal. Thermals are solid and it runs quieter than expected given the power it’s pushing. I’m feeding it with a high-end PSU and optimized airflow, and it stays cool even during long race sessions. Plus, having 32 GB of VRAM future-proofs this thing for anything coming down the pipe — sim titles, Unreal Engine games, AI workloads, you name it. This card isn’t made for average gamers. It’s made for power users who demand stability, headroom, and extreme performance. If you’re building or upgrading a serious racing sim or content creation rig, the 5090 is worth every penny.

Great GPU but runs HOT. Like 200 degrees hot. Make sure your wires are NOT bent at a sharp angle or you’re going to start a fire. No, seriously. I bought a 90 degree angle connector so I didn’t bend my cables. Sleek. Powerful. 🔥 hot 🔥 plenty of RAM. Great graphics. Plenty of ports.

dead after a month. returned. Was getting the "driver hung" error in every game. Bought 5070ti instead, and while it doesn't handle 4k nearly as well and I miss the 5090 when it was working, I saved 2 grand and instead spent that money on other things like a battery backup, new desk, and a guitar. /shrug. They are trying to price you out of PC gaming so they can rent servers to you instead, don't fall for it like I almost did!

If you are looking to buy a Geforce rtx 50 series, look no further. This card is a beast and it looks great as well. Plus, the 5090s tend to run warm, and this is where this card excels, the 4 fans keep the temps down so your gaming doesn't have to slow down

The shipping was very Fast and the card working great

The upgrade has been made from 3070 to 4090, the difference is great, and it works with high efficiency

Alles Top! Turbo Versand! Super Verkäufer! Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

Wow, je m'en sert pour les jeux en vr et je dois dire qu'elle fait très bien le travail! Une vrai bête!

Lo top, muy buen diseño y muy buen desempeño.
