short: Seeing graphics cards that sell a higher MSRP method is a frustrating reminder of the current market condition. Things are worse on auction sites like EBAY, which have lists of RTX 5090 cards more than $ 5,000. The next auction, which includes the pioneering Blackwell program, will exceed $ 16,000, but in this rare case, this will be a good thing.
Asus revealed Roj Astral RTX 5090 DhaAB OC graphics card in early February. As the name suggests, the card is a special version of the regular Rog Astral designed specifically for the Middle East – it is characterized by the Arabic language line, pictures of skyscrapers, and decorations that represent strength, courage and loneliness. The whole thing is a little, with almost finished gold and a stone -style design.
As mentioned before TechpowerupASUS Marketing Director at the company’s branch in North America, Ernst Cheng, posted a picture from GTC yesterday about the ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab OC model with a unique feature that makes it more expensive: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, along with RTX On! slogan.
ASUS has yet to reveal the price of the DHAAB card. Given that the standard ROG ASTRAL RTX 5090 has a price of $ 2800 at launch, which is now 3,359 dollars on Newegg, buying one of these special versions will cost a small fortune. With Jensen signature on this form, he expected to go to a five -digit amount.
Fortunately, ASUS says she will donate the revenues of the card auction to charitable works, supporting California’s relief efforts in Los Angeles.
As for the amount to be sold, Jensen Huang achieved that Jensen Huang achieved a $ 16,000 width in 2023. The money went to Make-A-Wish International, a charity that gives desires for children with serious diseases.
There are currently many ROG ASTRAL RTX 5090 cards on the EBY. It ranges from about $ 5,000 to $ 10,500.
ASUS is one of the many AIB partners who recently raised their graphics cards, in a large margin, in some cases. Companies often refer to the Trump administration’s new tariff as an excuse for this behavior, but many say they are taking advantage of them for their own benefit.
