ASUS's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series and Radeon RX 9000 series SKUs surface online, revealing the existence of a new "ROG Astral" lineup.
ASUS Is Likely To Include A New ROG Astral Series With NVIDIA's RTX 50 GPUs, Might Feature An All-White Design
Well, since we are now just a few days away from next-generation GPUs launching in the markets, details surrounding specific variants by AIB partners have started to surface online, and now, according to the renowned leaker @momomo_us, ASUS plans to launch several variants of the upcoming NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series, and AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series SKUs, including TUF, PRIME, and a new ROG Astral model as well, for which details are a bit uncertain for now.

Well, not only does this leak verify the existence of AMD's Radeon RX 9070 series from the retail channel, but apparently, ASUS is planning to launch a ROG Astral series. By just the naming scheme, Astral refers to something resembling the stars, so one possibility here would be the release of SKUs coming in with a brand-new design, probably in an all-white color scheme, although this isn't certain for now. Interestingly, ASUS's ROG Astral lineup has been listed by two Spanish retailers, and you can view the listings here, and here.
We are also looking at ASUS TUF and ASUS PRIME models for AMD's next-gen GPUs, notably the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. Interestingly, both variants are now also confirmed to come in a 16 GB VRAM configuration, validating the information we have been getting with the past leaks. Yet again, it is essential to note that this might not represent the complete ASUS next-gen GPU lineup but rather its specific SKUs. However, we do now have an idea of what kind of variants we are looking at.
Apart from ASUS, ZOTAC has recently listed next-gen RTX 50 series models on its official website. In the upcoming days, we will likely see more information about the next-gen GPUs, given that they are already in the process of hitting the supply chain.
