Videos and photos of the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC Edition card clearly show that it is a powerful beast, which is confirmed by the official listing https://rog.asus.com/graphics -cards/graphics-cards/rog-astral/rog-astral-rtx5090-o32g-gaming/ of 357.6 x 149.3 x 76 mm or 14.1 x 5.9 x 3 inches (compare with Nvidia’s RTX 5090 FE which measures 304 x 137 x 48 mm or 11.9 x 5.3 x 1.9 inches). Now, a Bilibili video posted by @harukaze5719 has demonstrated just what a giant the soon-to-be-released Astral GeForce RTX 5090 card is.
In the video, the scale peaks at 3.042 kg before stabilizing at 3.040 kg, which equates to 6.7 pounds. According to the World Health Organization https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325630 the average weight of a full-term baby is 3.2 kg for a woman and 3.3 kg for a man. PC builders will need to think carefully before adding an Astral GeForce RTX 5090 card to their setup, as its heavy weight will add to other considerations, including its size and power requirements (Asus recommends a PSU of 1000 W to keep that special baby well-fed).
The price of this custom GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card has not yet been revealed, but there is speculation that such a card, like the ROGX 5090, could be a gaming card that such a card like The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 could reach a price of around $2,500 or even much more (the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 is currently at $2,899 on Amazon). Considering that Nvidia offers the FE equivalent starting at $1,999, it’s safe to say that you’ll need to add a few hundred dollars to cover the costs of the included high-end features. The 3.8-slot Astral GeForce RTX 5090 delivers 28Gbps memory speed and features a quad-fan design, a phase-change thermal pad for the GPU, and a patented vapor chamber for help keep high operating temperatures under control.
