I really wonder how much it will cost. and is it limited number like the Matrix was or is it something someone will be able to go to the store and buy it assuming he shit money of course.


I own the Asus 5090 Astral and while I love my card, this card looks super sick to be honest.

To what end? I have a tiny display on my CPU cooler but I usually just have it showing the temp. Why would I ever want a curved OLED on my GPU? They are really just doing stuff just to do it.

You can tell gpu makers hitting the limits of what they can achieve and now they are focused on "improving" them in other ways I guess.

Probably for marketing purposes; AKA get streamers to use the card and show it off which in turns markets the brand itself even if nobody buys this likely insanely limited edition card.

It's not a monitor with a built in RTX 5090, It's just a tiny display built into a GPU.

 

[PauloRoberto]

a 800w card should have been inconceivable... :-(

I tend to see all these extra features as just more things that can break

And in this case add to the already crazy power draw

It's getting a bit silly

I really like the look of this card. it matches my godlike x870e godlike motherboard with the black and gold color. but i am not gonna change my astral for this. 6090 is by the end of next year. not worth paying extra money for same cooler really with extra screen and 800w

 

[Judge Magister]

Well it's useless but maybe it could look cool if it can look like a 3D billboard.

 

[Fbh]

That probably costs more than my car lol

Chips are at a premium, they'll make only ultra high end options for people with more money than sense.

For how much? $4,000?

It's a new handheld device! Imagine what kind of women you could get walking around town with a portable 5090 and a 1.5 CURVED OLED ..

I might have to change my username to "AssMan"

If only it were that cheap

And here I was hoping from the title they'd give you a free 5090 if you bought a curved oled display.

 

[thatsafakewebsitebro]

Sooo...can we use this display instead of a monitor?? If so, Nvidia is saving us money. We won't need a monitor anymore!

You wish. This looking more premium than the matrix

All the sudden my astral card sounds like an MSI ventus -_-

Arent OLEDs sensitive to heat?
So how smart is it really to put a OLED screen on a air cooled 600W beast and right above it another OLED screen that not only gets the hot air from the GPU but also has a hot CPU underneath?

 

[Draugoth]

$5000?

Wtf?

 

[Celcius]

When they made the Matrix they changed the fan design on the rear fan compared to the Astral. Does this also have the updated design?

edit: looks like the old fans?

Hope it is ..that way I can try its bios on my Astral LC unlike the Matrix bios which will not work on its fan config

I can't tell if yall are joking or not..... :-/

Don't tell me yall think it'll cost over $5,000.

 

[amigastar]

One could think that the high end models like 5090 wouldn't be much more expensive than their MSRP because they are overpriced as it is.

Wasn't joking about my post no. Of course I don't know how much it will cost . Could be same price you mentioned. But look wise this card is more premium than the matrix . So not sure if it will sell for the same price as that card.

Asus is a greedy company .

 

[Durin]

Pretty much just for the rich and the people that intentionally buy power/sata cables + tubing to match as a certain color.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Well how else do you justify or differentiate a GPU that would cost over $4000?

Crazy times we live in.
