The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC smashes 6 new overclocking records

The new king of PC gaming is here. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC takes what you love about ROG graphics cards and ups the ante to provide you more power than ever before. But don’t take our word for it — look at the records it’s smashing.

A new leader in ROG graphics card performance

The ROG Astral line is where our flagship graphics cards reside. So, when you buy an ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC, you know you're getting the best PC gaming has to offer. NVIDIA's powerhouse GeForce RTX 5090 sports 4th gen RT cores for next-level ray tracing performance and 5th gen Tensor cores for advanced framerate-boosting DLSS 4 features. It also has neural processors to produce high-fidelity visuals with minimal memory usage. With a GeForce RTX 5090, expect unparalleled graphics and performance in your favorite games. And our card achieves a stunning boost clock speed of 2580MHz right out of the box, to boot.

The Astral’s cutting-edge thermal solutions keep the heavyweight GeForce RTX 5090 GPU cool with a bold quad-fan design and phase-change GPU thermal pad, ensuring healthy temperatures that boost hardware longevity. We even gave the Astral a vapor chamber to prevent heat buildup — one more layer of protection to keep performance at its peak. The graphics card also packs premium power delivery to make sure your GPU gets stable, reliable power no matter what.

ASUS' own in-house overclocker, safedisk, used this top-shelf graphics card to snag four World Records and two Global First Place records for a total of six total overclocking records in 3DMark Port Royal, 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme, Unigine Superposition 1080P Xtreme, UNIGINE Superposition 8K Optimized, 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, and GPUPI v3.3 32B. In other words: plug this card into your PC, and you've got the potential for chart-topping performance. If you want to monitor the card’s record-setting output in real time or adjust individual GPU parameters, you can use our GPU Tweak III software. For more information on how the software helps optimize your GPU experience, peek at our GPU Tweak III guides.

GPU Tweak III comes with our new Power Detector+ feature to monitor current through the 16-pin connector powering your graphics card. This feature is exclusive to ROG Astral cards, so when you're gaming hard with an ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC, you can rest assured your cable is seated firmly with current distributed evenly across each cable. GPU Tweak III will warn you via its on-screen display if any pins exceed their electric current limit, and the card will show a blinking red LED indicator.

Game with the best
