ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5090 OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card (PCIe® 5.0, 32GB GDDR7, HDMI®/DP 2.1, 3.8-Slot, 4-Fan Design, Axial-tech Fans, Patented Vapor Chamber, Phase-Change GPU Thermal pad)

I’m running the ASUS ROG Astral 5090 OC Edition on an open test bench specifically to push overclocked 3DMark runs, and this card has blown past my expectations. The air cooling is outstanding. For a GPU in this performance class, the Astral’s cooler is genuinely impressive. Even under sustained, heavily overclocked loads, temperatures stay well under control with no signs of thermal throttling. On an open bench it runs surprisingly quiet, and the fans ramp smoothly instead of aggressively. Clocks hold consistently during long benchmark runs, and there’s none of the erratic behavior you sometimes see once power and thermals are stressed. Power delivery feels rock solid, which makes dialing in higher clocks much easier and more repeatable. This has easily become the best air-cooled GPU I’ve ever used for benchmarking. I’m setting my highest 3DMark scores to date on air alone, and the card still feels like it has headroom left.

Lo top, muy buen diseño y muy buen desempeño.

ere is my brand new computer in September 2025: It works perfectly! Make sure you update the BIOS with USB flashdrive first, otherwise you might get a black screen with the 5090. This is really important.

I have purchased 4x RTX 5090 GPUs (2x gigabyte,1x Zotac) and this is my daily driver but in default mode this card is the loudest I owned.It can be annoying ,so I suggest make a quiet fan curve. Pros Fastest consumer GPU out now Can overclock/underclock well but once your at 600Watts GPU clocks drop off a cliff There are new BIOS for GPU with a quiet fan curve Nvidia features can be very good at times Cons Expensive Power hungry 600Watts default mode Can get hot but Nvidia has 88°C limit on memory Very loud in default mode when fan speed hits over 55% Nvidia Drivers can be a mess at times

Installation was just like any other GPU. No issues out of box, and still runs fine after around a month of use on a 4k setup. I play games (Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, COD, Dying Light the Beast), VR, and do a few renders every so often. Temps have been alright for me. All in all a great GPU and the 32 GB of Vram really shows. Very big, but fits in my case no problem (Phanteks Evolve X). The LED strip is a nice touch.
