In keeping with the 30th anniversary of ASUS graphics cards and the legendary DOOM franchise, this GPU combines impressive technology with iconic aesthetics and is aimed at enthusiasts who value performance and collector’s value in equal measure.
- Limited special edition in cooperation with Bethesda and id Software
- Exclusive bundle including T-shirt, mouse mat, keycard and game skin
- Optimized cooling system with Vapor Chamber and Axial-Tech fans
- GeForce RTX 50 series with DLSS 4 and native ray tracing features
Legendary design meets modern technology
The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 DOOM Edition is an eye-catcher that visually captures the essence of DOOM: The Dark Ages. The green and gold color scheme is reminiscent of the powerful symbolism of DOOM Slayer, complemented by stylized motifs on the backplate and special details such as gold accents on the connector panel and heatsink. Particular eye-catchers are the Sentinel figures and the fans modeled on the Shield Saw – a subtle but effective reminiscence of the dark medieval setting of the new game.
Technically, the card shows that it is not only impressive in terms of looks: With 16 GB of new GDDR7 memory, a robust power supply and a sophisticated cooling architecture, the RTX 5080 DOOM Edition offers top performance for gaming in 4K at the highest frame rates. In particular, the optimized vapor chamber design and the large fin structure ensure efficient heat dissipation, even during intensive gaming sessions.
Ultimate performance for DOOM: The Dark Ages and beyond
The heart of the card is based on the new GeForce RTX 50 series and brings NVIDIA® DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and native ray tracing based on the idTech8 engine into play. These technologies increase image quality and frame rate in equal measure and ensure an ultra-smooth, visually impressive gaming experience. DOOM: The Dark Ages, the epic predecessor to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, in particular benefits from this technology – a perfect interplay of hardware and software.
The DOOM Edition is an ideal choice, especially for gamers who rely on 4K monitors with high refresh rates. The GPU delivers the necessary performance to enjoy even demanding next-gen titles in full detail and without compromise. What’s more, ASUS has created a real collector’s item in this anniversary year: The exclusive packaging as well as additional content such as a special T-shirt, a mouse mat, a yellow key card and the ROG-exclusive DOOM Slayer Legionary skin round off the offer perfectly.
Conclusion: More than just a graphics card – a collector’s item for gaming fans
With the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 DOOM Edition, ASUS has achieved an impressive combination of nostalgic homage and modern top performance. The limited graphics card not only offers top hardware for current and upcoming games, but is also a real highlight for collectors and fans. The card will be available exclusively from the Bethesda Gear Store. A price has not yet been officially announced, but those interested should be quick – quantities are likely to be strictly limited.
