Finally time to upgrade old computer system due to it being 10-years old and Windows 10 no longer being supported. Went from a Dell XPS with a NVIDIA GTX 970 to this monster of a graphics card. I am blown away by this card and the new 9950x3d chip as well!! Did I overpay for this card? Absolutely! Fortunately, I only do this once every 10+ years, so I decided to go all out! Very pleased!! This thing is very heavy and was challenging to get into the PCIe slot, but once I got it in there, it has been like gold!

Quiet, powerful, easy to OC, and very aesthethetically pleasing. The pin detection software is also great for piece of mind for those who are worried enough to keep a fire extinguisher nearby...

The ASUS Astral RTX 5090 is a beast—super fast, runs cool and quiet, and handles anything you throw at it, whether it's gaming or creative work. Power connector monitoring is a big plus.

Overpriced, and extremely heavy. And somehow, I guess I lost the silicon lottery, because the OC potential on mine seems to fall short compared to others online. Has an audible coil whine when around 400W, but the features are nice. I have no idea how to balance the currents on the connector, so now I just run it knowing I could potentially catch my house on fire. Thanks Asus!

This is the first NVIDIA GPU I've owned where I handily beat all the averages for every test on 3D Mark.
The reason why these are better than other 5090s is that Asus 'bins" each chip, ie., ensuring that you've effectively won the silicon lottery for high performance with stability.
So relative to unbinned chips like the founders edition or cheaper models from Asus or other AIBs you will have a higher frame rate up to 10%'ish, but probably closer to 2 to 5% in any given game.
It is the best money can buy, but is it worth a $1k+ premium to chips that were good enough to meet minimum standards for NVIDIA but not good enough to be this model? That is very up for debate and probably personal.
But having brought this home expecting the best and getting it...I must say that I'm not disappointed.

The ASUS Astral 5090 is an absolute powerhouse! This GPU is designed to handle the most demanding games and applications with ease. The quad-slot, quad-fan cooling solution ensures it runs cool even under heavy loads. The performance is unmatched, thanks to the Blackwell architecture and 32GB of GDDR7 memory

This card is one of the most powerful gpu on earth. It has its own pin sensing feature to detect if there is an imbalance in power distribution. It also has the 4th fan for better cooling. Definitely a must buy if you want the play max ultra settings with ray tracing on a 4k monitor!

Runs fast and cool. Sitting in my NCASE M2 in a vertical position with a slight OC, temps never exceed 70C. The per pin power monitoring also gives you good peace of mind. Would highly recommend this card.

This has been an amazing upgrade from my 3090 asus strix. The 5090 astral is my new card and i couldnt be happier with the performance and more importantly the stability. But it is way to expensive. All of the 5090s are. But i was scared for what the 6090 would cost so I bought in at over 3k almost 3.5k after tax.

This is a beast of a gpu. I was lucky to find it open box excellent at my local BB at a great price. Well worth it to those who enjoy the best of the best.

The ROG Astral wasn’t the first RTX 5090 on my list, but I’m glad I ended up with this. It’s a thing of beauty and fits nicely in my case. Dig the Dual Bios feature too, although I’m all about Performance anyways. And it does perform well. Looking forward to pairing this with a new VR headset and hitting the track in my racing sim rig. Note: I’m only giving “Value” high marks because as of today other than Best Buy, you can’t find this card for less than twice what I paid.

The performance gain is simply outstanding. Upgraded from a Nvidia RTX 2080 TI Founders Edition. This 5090 not only powers 4k monitors flawlessly its provides enough to power (3x) 4k Monitors as well as a 4th 1080p Monitor for HUD during Sim Racing. Good to see that this Graphics Card i got from here has all of its ROPs. I am Happy with my Purchase.

Definitely the most powerful card on the market. It rips through any of the newest releases in native 4k without any issues. DLSS takes the FPS to even crazier levels but I don't even usually need it.

This card has high build quality and is super fast for gaming. However, it comes with a premuim price tag. I like that i can see the amps for each cable wire to ensure everything is running as it should. I think this is the best card out of the 5090 bunch and i highly recommend.

There’s not much to say about it. It can handle any games available today and will likely handle most of the upcoming releases for the next few years. If you’re due for an upgrade, it’s a wise investment.
