ASUS has launched its new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, highlighting the innovative ROG Astral line, which promises to take graphics performance to unprecedented levels. This series combines top-notch frame rates with a sleek design and both air- and liquid-cooled variants, ready to power any PC.
RTX 50 series GPUs are equipped with a high level of AI power, allowing you to enjoy new experiences without sacrificing graphical fidelity. These graphics cards can output images at high speed, boost performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4, and unleash creativity with NVIDIA Studio.
Additionally, they provide access to NVIDIA NIM microservices, next-generation AI models that enable enthusiasts and developers to create AI assistants, agents, and workflows with maximum performance.
ROG Astral: Innovation and Excellence
The ROG Astral series is inspired by the mysteries of the universe, symbolizing the powerful and limitless energy of the cosmos. These graphics cards, ROG’s first with four fans, offer up to 20% more airflow and pressure than previous three-fan designs, reducing hot spots and enabling higher clock speeds.
The fourth fan increases fin density, improving overall cooling potential. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 models feature ASUS’ patented vapor chamber design, optimizing heat dissipation. Additionally, traditional thermal paste has been replaced with a high-quality phase change thermal pad, which improves heat transfer and increases the longevity of the thermal interface material.
Designed for Enthusiasts and Overclockers
ROG Astral cards are designed for enthusiasts and overclockers, with powerful 80-amp MOSFETs that offer up to 35% more headroom than standard designs, improving stability and overclocking potential. They also have a protective coating on the printed circuit board, protecting it against short circuits caused by moisture or dust.

The design includes an ultra-rigid metal frame, a fan shroud and a backplate with a sleek design reminiscent of futuristic ships. The ROG Astral series supports the latest advanced GPU Tweak III features, including a PCB heat map, Power Detector+, and a Mileage tracker. In addition, it has two FanConnect II headers and a Dual BIOS switch to choose between maximum performance and silent operation.
Liquid Cooling Options
For liquid cooling enthusiasts, ASUS offers the ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX 5090, which shares many features with the air-cooled model, but with a lower profile heatsink and an extra-thick 360mm radiator. This configuration provides up to 30% higher thermal performance than air cooling, ideal for powerful and quiet performance.
Complete range with ROG Strix, ASUS TUF Gaming and ASUS Prime
In addition to the ROG Astral series, ASUS presents the ROG Strix variants for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 graphics cards, with eye-catching designs and multiple advantages such as a ventilated exoskeleton and Aura Sync. The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 deliver ultra-reliable performance, with military-grade components and a rugged design.
ASUS Prime graphics cards also join the launch, with a 2.5-slot design and three-fan cooling, providing broad compatibility at an attractive price.
In addition, the new GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards can be combined with power supplies from the ROG Thor III or ROG Strix Platinum lines, supporting ATX 3.1 and PCIe® 5.0. Additionally, they provide access to ASUS’s MuseTree functionality, an AI-based imaging application designed to spark creativity.
