ASUS brings a Middle East-exclusive ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, exhibiting a strong gold accent and equipped with quad fans.
Skyscrapers, Arabic Calligraphy, and Golden Shroud, All on a Single Card: ASUS Unveils its Most Premium RTX 5090 Yet
If the ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 LC edition isn't expensive enough for you, the new ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab OC might offer you an authentic taste of luxury. Don't expect it to be noticeably superior to other custom RTX 5090 editions when it comes to performance, but rather, treat it as a piece of art for the affluent.
ASUS's ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab is a Gold edition (not genuine Gold), as 'Dhahab' in Arabic means Gold. The heatsink shroud of the RTX 5090 Dhahab OC edition is Gold-plated, and the backplate features Middle Eastern elements, such as Arabic Calligraphy, Skyscrapers, and camels.
The ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 Dhahab Edition is a celebration of the rapid evolution of the Middle East, featuring a unique skyline silhouette that signifies a transition from the sands to the skies. It also introduces ROG's first quad-fan design, coupled with a patented vapor chamber, increased heatsink fin density, a phase-change GPU thermal pad, towering default clock speeds, boosted power delivery, and more. These premium innovations – amplified by an eye-catching die-cast frame and metal GPU bracket – combine to deliver absolute performance that can handle even the most demanding gaming scenarios.

The card boasts four fans, which is one of its most notable aspects. These fans increase the air pressure by up to 20% for better cooling. Three fans are on the front, and one is on the back. They are all black in color but with golden accents in the center. ASUS advertises that the card can offer up to 3593 AI TOPs of AI performance and has premium power delivery with 35% more headroom and 80 AMP MOSFETS.
The card features a dual BIOS for switching between Performance and Quiet mode according to your needs, while the two FanConnect II connectors offer DIY flexibility for your PC build. The core specs are the same as those of any other RTX 5090 GPU, but the clock speeds are enhanced for higher performance. Compared to the 2407 MHz boost clock of the FE edition, the Dhahab edition brings 2610 MHz of boost clock in the OC mode and 2580 MHz in the Default mode.
ASUS hasn't revealed its pricing and availability yet, but expect it to cost a fortune and be exclusive to the Middle East.
