Asus has introduced a luxurious gold-plated version of its RTX 5090 GPU, the ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition, which is priced between $6,700 and $10,600 at Middle Eastern retailers. This exclusive edition, made with 6.5 grams of pure 24K gold, features a distinct gold design, with additional cultural motifs like skyscrapers, camels, and Arabic calligraphy.
The GPU is equipped with a quad-fan cooling solution and a 3.8-slot design, offering OC boost clock speeds of 2.61 GHz, with real-world frequencies likely surpassing this. While the standard ROG Astral RTX 5090 is priced around $3,099, the Dhahab Edition appeals to a niche market looking for luxury and exclusivity.
The gold components alone contribute nearly $700 to the card’s value. Aimed at collectors, the limited-edition GPU is expected to become a highly sought-after item in the future, with its value tied to collector demand. For the price of the Dhahab Edition, one could also consider a high-performance RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, offering superior specs at a similar cost.
