ASUS has introduced the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab OC Edition, a premium, Middle East-exclusive graphics card that blends cutting-edge performance with luxurious aesthetics. Inspired by the region’s rapid transformation, the Dhahab Edition features a unique gold-plated heatsink shroud, Arabic calligraphy, and an intricate skyline design that symbolizes the journey from desert sands to towering skyscrapers.
One of the standout features of the RTX 5090 Dhahab OC Edition is its quad-fan cooling system, a first for ROG GPUs. Three fans are positioned on the front, with a fourth on the back, increasing air pressure by up to 20% for superior cooling.
The card also includes a patented vapor chamber, increased heatsink fin density, a phase-change GPU thermal pad, and an upgraded power delivery system. These enhancements ensure optimal thermal performance even under heavy workloads.
Performance-wise, the Dhahab OC Edition comes with higher clock speeds compared to the Founders Edition (FE). It features a boost clock of 2610 MHz in OC mode and 2580 MHz in Default mode, surpassing the FE’s 2407 MHz. The GPU also boasts 3593 AI TOPs of AI performance, dual BIOS switching, 80 AMP MOSFETS, and FanConnect II connectors for added customization in PC builds.
While ASUS has not disclosed the official pricing or release date, the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab OC Edition is expected to carry a premium price tag and remain exclusive to the Middle East.
Designed as both a gaming powerhouse and a collector’s piece, this gold-infused GPU is targeted at enthusiasts who seek performance and prestige in equal measure.
