Asus Unveils Extravagant Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 ROG Astral Gold Edition, Weighing 7.2 kg and Priced at $500,000

At the Bilibili World 2025 exhibition, Asus showcased one of the most unique and expensive graphics cards in history—the RTX 5090 ROG Astral Real Gold Edition. This graphics card, priced at $500,000, is entirely enveloped in pure 24-karat gold.

From a technical standpoint, the «golden» graphics card mirrors the key specifications of the flagship RTX 5090 Astral, featuring 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, PCIe 5.0 interface, a clock speed of up to 2.61 GHz, and a cooling system with four fans. The only differences are its weight (the ROG Astral Gold Edition weighs 7.2 kg, with 5 kg dedicated to the gold coating) and its price, as the standard ROG Astral is available for around $3,500.

In February, Asus introduced the RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition—a graphics card designed with eastern motifs and also adorned with gold (though only 6.5 g) and turquoise accents, featuring Arabic calligraphy. Targeted for sale in the Middle Eastern and North African markets, it became available in May, with a price reaching $10,600.

Asus has not announced any plans to sell the ROG Astral Gold Edition. It is likely that this gilded graphics card will remain a display piece or find its way into the hands of collectors.
