30 Jahre Grafikinnovation feiern, hat ASUS seine leistungsstärkste (und teuerste) Grafikkarte aller Zeiten enthüllt. Hier ist, was Sie über die 800W-Monsterkarte wissen müssen.

Wenn Sie dachten, dass die Standard-RTX 5090 übertrieben sei, hat ASUS gerade das Wort „extrem“ neu definiert. Zum 30. Jubiläum auf dem Grafikkartenmarkt hat das Unternehmen offiziell die ROG Matrix Platinum GeForce RTX 5090 vorgestellt.

Dies ist nicht nur ein frischer Anstrich; es handelt sich um eine vollständig neu gestaltete Kreatur, die Weltrekorde brechen wird. Mit der Vorbestellung ab 19. November um 6 Uhr PT, hier ist, warum diese Karte jetzt das neue Heilige Gral für PC-Enthusiasten ist.

800W Leistungsgrenze: Das Tier freisetzen

Das Hauptmerkmal ist das unvergleichliche Stromversorgungssystem.

  • Zweifache Stromversorgung: Die Karte verfügt über eine einzigartige Hybrid-Stromversorgungslösung. Sie verbindet sich mit einer fortschrittlichen BTF (Back-To-Future)-Motherboard über den Hochleistungs-GC-HPWR-Slot plus einen Standard-12V-2x6-Kabel.

  • Das Ergebnis: Diese Kombination ermöglicht es der Karte, bis zu 800 Watt zu ziehen.

  • Leistung: Laut ASUS ermöglicht dieser große Leistungsspielraum eine geschätzte 10 % höhere Leistung im Vergleich zu einer Standard-RTX 5090, hauptsächlich durch die Aufrechterhaltung höherer Boost-Taktfrequenzen ohne Leistungsgrenzen.

Kühlung: Flüssigmetall & Speicher-Enteisung

Um 800 W Wärme zu bewältigen, hat ASUS seine fortschrittste thermische Lösung bislang eingesetzt.

  • Vier-Lüfter-System: Im Gegensatz zur Standard-Dreifachlüfterkonfiguration verwendet diese Karte vier Lüfter, um einen vertikalen Luftstromkanal zu erzeugen und die Luftdruckumgebung um 20 % zu erhöhen.

  • Flüssigmetall: Der GPU-Chip verwendet eine eigene Flüssigmetall-Thermalschicht, um eine maximale Wärmeübertragung an die Kupferdampfkammer sicherzustellen.

  • LN2-Funktionen: Für extreme Overclocker beinhaltet die Karte eine Speicher-Enteisungsfunktion . Dies verhindert das berüchtigte „Kälte-Bug“ (Speicher-Einfrieren) während von unter-null-Flüssigstickstoff-Sitzungen.

Intelligente Funktionen: „Level Sense“

ASUS führt auch neue Softwareintegration mit GPU Tweak III ein.

  • Sag-Erkennung: Die Karte verfügt über einen integrierten „Level Sense“-Sensor. Wenn die Karte in Ihrem PCIe-Slot beginnt, zu hängen (ein häufiges Problem bei schweren GPUs), wird sie Sie per Software benachrichtigen und Sie auffordern, Ihren Unterstützungsbalken vor Schäden anzupassen.

Verfügbarkeit & Der „Unobtainium“-Faktor

Die ROG Matrix Platinum GeForce RTX 5090 wird in sehr begrenzter Stückzahl verfügbar sein.

  • US-Start: Vorbestellungen beginnen am 6 Uhr PT am 19. November über den ASUS eShop.

  • Lieferung: Die Einheiten werden im Dezember erwartet.

  • Kanada: Der Bestand wird Ende November erwartet.

Kaufstipp: Angesichts des geschätzten Preises (gerüchteweise über $3.999 USD) und der „Jubiläums“-Markierung ist dies streng genommen ein Sammlerstück. Wenn Sie eines haben möchten, müssen Sie auf der Website sein, sobald der Vorbestellknopf aktiviert wird.

  4. Many are missing the point that this card is for extreme enthusiasts seeking the absolute best. Those scoffing at the price are simply not the target audience. ASUS makes more affordable cards for the rest of us.

      1. In the overclocking community, the goal is to acquire an RTX 5090 to compete against other 5090s. I assume most buyers for this model are specifically seeking a top-tier 5090, not necessarily the best performing card for the money.

  5. €4000 is not worth it. I’m genuinely concerned about how expensive graphics cards are becoming, as normal consumers are increasingly priced out of the market. I opted for a 5080 this generation due to the melting issues with the RTX 5090, planning to upgrade to a 90-series model in about three years. However, €2000-€2500 would have been my limit for the RTX 5090. If prices rise further, I’ll be out.

    Graphics cards will soon cost as much as a car if this continues. I hope AMD becomes competitive to end this madness. In my opinion, a high-end card should never exceed €1000-€1500. The 1080, for example, was around €700. Today’s price increases no longer relate to inflation—it’s pure greed, driven by Nvidia’s lack of competition in the high-end market. We urgently need real competition. Without it, 90-series cards will reach €5000. Mark my words.

    Since the 40 series, we’ve crossed into unhealthy pricing territory. The 30 series was the last with affordable prices.

    I consider myself an enthusiast willing to pay above-average prices for gaming hardware, but I’ll never pay more than €2000 for an RTX 5090 Founders Edition or €2500 for custom models. They’ve already slightly exceeded my limit. If prices climb further, I’ll permanently stick with 80-series cards. Once real competition arrives, I’m done with Nvidia—though they don’t seem to care anymore. The AI bubble needs to burst, and they need to face consequences. Otherwise, things will only get harder for all of us. I truly despise the GPU market of recent years.

    1. GPU prices are indeed too high, but we didn’t see CPU prices drop when AMD took the lead either—if anything, the opposite happened. At best, we might see stagnation at the lower end. This is already clear in the market segments where AMD actually competes, and from the somewhat misleading MSRPs AMD set for some of its current-generation cards.

      As long as Nvidia and AMD see that people are still buying—and they are—they have no incentive to cut prices. Those two companies are essentially the same picture in that meme.

      1. At this price point, I doubt many people can afford an RTX 5090. The cost would be the absolute maximum I’d ever consider paying for a GPU, and I’m a major hardware enthusiast. I don’t personally know anyone who would buy a graphics card this expensive.

        If prices keep rising generation after generation, most people will simply be outpriced. Salaries don’t increase to that extent. According to Steam surveys, less than 1% of people own a 5090. People don’t have infinite money.

        For the 2500€ an RTX 5090 costs, I could cover eight months of food in Germany or buy a used car. How high are prices supposed to go? 3000€? 4000€? Even higher?

        1. As a gaming and tech enthusiast, I agree, but there will always be a market for these cards, whether for gaming or professional use. I don’t believe we will ever see “normal” pricing again.

          Personally, I own a 4090, and even purchasing it at MSRP was painful. It’s less about what you can afford and more about weighing your hobby against what else you could do with that money. Something has to give.

          1. If this problem worsens, I may stop gaming altogether. It’s sad after 20 years, but there’s a point where it becomes too much. Alternatively, I could stop buying new games and just replay my extensive library. I think the market will collapse eventually. You can’t milk people indefinitely; a limit has to be reached.

          2. I view this trend a bit more positively. While high-end hardware is indeed becoming more expensive, the performance threshold for something like 4K gaming is simultaneously getting lower. A 5070 is sufficient now, and a 6060 will likely handle it fairly well in two years, at least on medium/high settings with DLSS. I find myself shifting away from the absolute top-tier products and moving down the stack instead.

            Games are also seeing a similar price increase. In Norway, a new title on Steam easily costs $100, which is simply too much. I’ve hardly bought any games at launch in recent years.

            I also doubt most companies earn more money by doing this. It might work for franchises like GTA, but who will pay that much for Outer Worlds 2 or similar titles? My guess is not as many as would have bought it for 20% less.

            There is a balance to be found, and we’ll reach it eventually. Unfortunately, for hardware, gamers probably have too little influence in the market to dictate when that point arrives.

  6. At $4,000, these will still sell out quickly. The $3,000 price point wasn’t a deterrent, and there are easily over a thousand people with the means to buy one.

    1. Most people likely cannot afford the $3,000 price tag. I’d wager many are either in debt or living paycheck to paycheck. Just because someone can purchase it doesn’t mean they can truly afford it.

    1. Two reasons:

      First, this card can draw up to 800W by itself. The next standard PSU tier below that is 1200W. The Matrix is largely designed for enthusiasts, including those who may do sub-zero overclocking. Such a setup would likely include a high-end motherboard and CPU, which also draw significant power. A 1600W power supply is a sensible choice in this scenario.

      Second, we want to showcase our ROG Thor III and ROG Strix Platinum power supplies. They feature a new GPU-first Intelligent Voltage Stabilizing sensor for the 12v2x6 cable. It’s a useful feature, but I won’t go into the technical details here.
