Rizz up your rig with the golden ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition

ROG Astral graphics cards are built to take style and performance to new frontiers. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition is no exception. With NVIDIA's latest GPU architecture, our cutting-edge thermal design, and an aesthetic that’ll define your gaming rig, the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition is built for gamers who want to play well and look incredible doing it.

The gold standard of GeForce RTX 5080 performance

With a GeForce RTX 50 Series card, you reap the benefits of NVIDIA's new Blackwell architecture. This scores you 4th gen RT cores for incredible ray tracing performance and neural shaders that minimize memory usage while amping up in-game visuals. You'll also get NVIDIA's latest AI solutions with DLSS 4 Super Resolution, Multi Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction, which help games run smoothly with graphics cranked up.

These AI-driven processes are easily handled by the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition’s hefty 1899 TOPS of AI performance. The card also packs a sizeable 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. This high-bandwidth memory keeps gameplay smooth and can help accelerate content creator work like 3D rendering and video editing. And with 16GB of that premium memory under the hood, your card will have no problem handling heavyweight gaming or professional workloads. Top off those specs with the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition’s factory overclocked 2760 MHz core speed, and you’ll run laps around the competition in all your endeavors.

Looks fit for a king

Evoking the image of a gold brick, this shimmering stunner will dazzle inside any case. But it has more than shine to offer; it's fitted with stylings that radiate premium panache no matter how closely you look. The card features skyscraper imagery that emphasizes the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition’s towering innovation. Its elegant calligraphy gives the card an air of mystery, daring you to unlock its full potential. And the golden ROG fearless eye logo reminds onlookers that this card is among ROG’s finest.

Looks aren't just about artistry — construction plays a big part in a premium design. That's why this card features a diecast frame, shroud, and backplate. This strong material reinforces the gold standard we set with our ROG Astral cards.

The cooling you need for heavyweight gaming

This card packs our signature ROG Astral quad-fan design, providing more airflow and pressure than tri-fan designs. The card also sports our patented vapor chamber and phase-change thermal pad, boosting thermal conductivity and efficiency under heavy loads.

But we go even further in thermal innovation. During our manufacturing process, this card benefits from our MaxContact Design. This increases the surface area of the GPU heat spreader by 5%, giving you better thermal transfer than standard heat spreaders.

A graphics card built to go the distance

This card packs loads of high-end bells and whistles, starting with 50-amp MOSFETs for premium power delivery. But that premium power requires protection. So we’ve added a PCB coating to guard against moisture and debris-induced short-circuits. The card's four-corner GPU adhesive process, ASUS GPU Guard, and a GPU bracket for uniform mounting pressure ensure the card's processor is safe and secure at all times.

We've even optimized our manufacturing process to champion longevity. Our Auto-Extreme Technology reduces thermal strain on components during the soldering phase by automating the entire process in one single pass, producing a card that’s built to last longer and game harder.

Control your graphics card with GPU Tweak III

To harness the full power and versatility of the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition, you’ll want our GPU Tweak III app. The app lets you overclock your card with a single click, fine-tune various GPU parameters, and monitor the card’s status. It does this all with an easy, intuitive UI that’ll get you tinkering in no time.

GPU Tweak III also provides multiple ways to monitor your card’s 16-pin power connector with Power Detector+, which helps you safeguard your ROG Astral card against abnormal current. If you want pin-by-pin readouts of your GPU power connector's current flow, you'll want to download GPU Tweak III. The app offers an on-screen display tool to help you monitor GPU stability in real time, lets you set popup alerts to warn of abnormalities, and more. To learn more about GPU Tweak III, click here.

The right PSU for the job

To properly power the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC Edition, you’ll want a heavyweight PSU. That’s why we recommend the ROG Thor 1200W Platinum III PSU. Its GaN MOSFET's efficient power delivery optimizes electricity usage. It’s also equipped with an intelligent voltage stabilizer, ensuring gameplay is stable no matter how intense the action gets. The PSU’s ROG heatsinks keep noise and temperatures to a minimum. And this power supply unit will even shut off its fans when not under load. That’s our 0dB technology working to give you a quiet, enjoyable experience.

If you have a beastly CPU and plenty of energy-hungry peripherals plugged into your machine, consider going even higher up the food chain with an ROG Thor 1600W Titanium III PSU. To learn what power supply unit is best for your setup, use our PSU calculator.
