ASUS has introduced a special variant of its high-end graphics card, the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition. This exclusive version features an eye-catching gold-colored design, paying tribute to the rapid development of the Middle East. “Dhahab” means “gold” in Arabic, which underlines the card’s elegant appearance.
Main features of the Dhahab Edition:
- Exclusive design: gold-colored accents on the front and back as well as special decorations on the backplate.
- Powerful cooling: Four fans and a massive heat sink for optimum temperature control.
- Robust construction: High-quality materials and reinforced components for durability.
Unique design and symbolism
The Dhahab Edition stands out with its luxurious design. Both the front and back of the graphics card are in a shiny gold tone. The backplate is adorned with the silhouette of skyscrapers and a caravan, paying homage to the impressive development of the Middle East. Arabic symbols on the fans complete the overall picture. Although the card is not made of real gold, it still conveys a high-quality and exclusive impression.
Technical specifications and cooling concept
The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition is based on the well-known Astral series from ASUS. It takes up 3.8 slots, measures just under 35.5 centimeters in length and weighs around 2.9 kilograms. A special feature is the cooling system with four fans: three are located at the front, while an additional fan is positioned at the rear to dissipate the heat efficiently. This design is intended to increase the airflow and pressure by up to 20% and thus ensure optimum cooling performance.
The card features a patented Vapor Chamber with milled heatspreader, which ensures more efficient heat transfer and lower GPU temperatures. In addition, a phase-change GPU thermal pad is used to optimize heat transfer and further reduce temperatures. High-quality 80-amp MOSFETs ensure improved performance, stability and higher overclocking potential.
Availability and price
ASUS has not yet officially announced the price of the Dhahab Edition. The standard version of the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition is listed with a recommended retail price of €2,949. However, due to the limited availability and exclusive design, a higher price is to be expected for the Dhahab Edition.
With the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition, ASUS offers a graphics card that not only impresses with its technical performance, but also with its unique design. It is aimed at enthusiasts and collectors who value exclusivity and top performance. Further details can be found on the official ASUS website.
