If you thought ASUS’ ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab edition was over-the-top, wait till you hear about their latest jaw-dropping creation: the ROG RTX 5090, crafted with a staggering 5 kg of real gold. 
This is more than just a GPU-it’s a work of pure luxury tech that will make your jaw drop.
Weighing in at a hefty 7.2 kg, this GPU is about 2.5 times heavier than the regular RTX 5090 models. The standard RTX 5090 typically weighs around 2.5 to 3.0 kg, but ASUS added a golden shroud to this one, making it a golden beast. And it’s not just for show-the heatsink is likely made of copper, which is pricier than the usual aluminum heatsinks. The golden exterior isn’t polished, but the sheer presence of this GPU is undeniable.
Unlike the Dhahab edition, which only had gold plating, this new version features a full gold construction, raising the price to astronomical levels. ASUS has yet to confirm the exact model number, but sources suggest it could be the RTX 5090D. Regardless of the exact name, this GPU will set you back at least $500,000-far more than any consumer GPU we’ve seen.
For comparison, the ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab, which was already outrageously priced at $8,000, seems like a bargain in comparison to this golden wonder. The price of this golden GPU is over 60 times that of the Dhahab edition. If you’re thinking of buying a regular RTX 5090, well, you’re looking at a mind-boggling 250x difference in price. But hey, who wouldn’t want to own a GPU that costs as much as a luxury car?
This GPU isn’t just about gold; it’s about making a statement. With a price tag like this, it seems more like a display piece than a gaming tool. It’s a curious choice from ASUS, considering the hefty price tag could buy you a Ferrari. The real question is: where will this GPU end up?
