ASUS Announces NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Graphics Cards
ASUS today announced its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, including the all-new ROG Astral line that ushers in a new generation of performance. The ROG Astral series combines top-tier frame rates and a sleek, stellar design, with both air-cooled and liquid-cooled variants ready to power a user's next PC.
Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell, GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs bring game-changing capabilities to gamers and creators. Equipped with a massive level of AI horsepower, the RTX 50 Series enables new experiences and next-level graphics fidelity. Users can multiply performance with NVIDIA DLSS 4, generate images at unprecedented speed, and unleash creativity with NVIDIA Studio. Plus, they can access NVIDIA NIM microservices—state-of-the-art AI models that let enthusiasts and developers build AI assistants, agents, and workflows with peak performance on NIM-ready systems.
ROG Astral Takes Performance and Design to New Heights
The ROG Astral series derives its name from the relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence, inspired by the boundless mysteries of the universe. ROG Astral symbolizes the powerful and limitless energy of the cosmos, pushing performance to new heights and continuously exploring uncharted territories like never before.
As the first quad-fan graphics cards from ROG, the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 take cooling to the next level with up to 20% more airflow and pressure than previous three-fan designs. This helps reduce hotspots, leading to unprecedented clock speeds.
The inclusion of a fourth fan allows for more densely-packed heatsink fins, increasing overall cooling potential. In addition, the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 see the return of the ASUS-patented vapor-chamber design with milled pathways, allowing heat pipes to sink into the surface without flat edges for improved heat dissipation.
ROG Strix, ASUS TUF Gaming, and ASUS Prime Fill Out the Lineup
The ROG Astral series is not the only family of graphics cards gracing the ASUS lineup this generation. Gamers looking for a powerful GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5070 graphics card should look at the ROG Strix variants, featuring striking designs and a host of features.
For liquid cooling enthusiasts, ASUS also offers the ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX 5090. Featuring many of the same features as its air-cooled cousin, the LC version opts for a low-profile heatsink under the shroud, with a full-coverage cold plate that allows the extra-thick 360 mm radiator to cool the GPU and other heat-producing components on the PCB.
Finally, ASUS Prime graphics cards also join the launch, featuring the phase-change thermal compound and tri-fan cooling. And for the GeForce RTX 5080, 5070 Ti and 5070 models, a 2.5-slot design that meets the SFF-Ready Enthusiast GeForce Card guideline provides broad compatibility at an attractive price.
The new GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards can be seamlessly paired with a power supply from the ROG Thor III or ROG Strix Platinum lines, featuring ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.0 support, the ASUS-patented GPU-First intelligent voltage stabilizer, and GaN MOSFETs.
