Asus' luxurious RTX 5090 GPU is twice as expensive as Nvidia Founders Edition — ROG Matrix Platinum GeForce RTX 5090 launches at $3,999 with just 1,000 units available
This is a great GPU if you have $4,000 burning a hole in your pocket.
Asus just released the price for its limited-edition ROG Matrix RTX 5090, based on the GeForce RTX 5090, one of the best graphics cards. According to its product page, the GPU, made in celebration of its 30th year of making graphics cards, is priced at $3,999. This makes it twice the cost of the Nvidia RTX 5090 Founders Edition card, which has an SRP of $1,999 (though you’ll be hard-pressed to find one at that price).
ROG Matrix is often Asus’ top-of-the-line graphics card offering. They’re usually equipped with the latest features and have the highest possible overclocks, allowing gamers and enthusiasts to get the most out of Nvidia’s GPUs. For example, the ROG Matrix RTX 5090 will come with sag detection to warn you if the GPU has moved on its mount, even with a 0.10-degree shift. This is a crucial feature as the massive GPU comes with four fans, a copper vapor chamber, and three-ounce copper layers, so you can expect it to be one chunky card.
All that weight isn’t just for decoration, too. The ROG Matrix RTX 5090 can draw up to 800 watts through its dual power input ports — a standard 12V-2x6 call that connects directly to your power supply and a GC-HPWR adapter for attachment to your Asus BTF motherboard. This gives it 10% more overclocking headroom, allowing you to squeeze every possible drop of performance out of it.
You’d better be prepared with more than just $4,000 if you want to get your hands on this GPU. Asus said it will release only 1,000 examples of the ROG Matrix RTX 5090 worldwide. So, if you're going to get this collector’s GPU inside your high-end gaming system, you’d better be ready to grab it as soon as it drops. German online retailer Proshop has already opened pre-orders for the Matrix GPU, limiting the sales to just one unit per buyer, but it has since run out of stock. In case you don’t get the chance to buy this limited-edition graphics card (or can’t afford to drop $4k on one), you can check out our list of the best gaming GPUs — that way, you can find one that fits your budget and use case just right.

TechieTwo Like any other good or service they can only charge $4,000 if consumers are willing to pay that price.Reply -
txfeinbergs Unfortunately, there are way more than 1000 millionaires in this world now so I don't think they will have a problem. Instead of a trophy wife (or perhaps in addition to a trophy wife), they can buy a trophy GPU!)Reply -
ezst036 For that price did Asus at least fit this video card with the necessary electronics so that it splits the electrical current and is entirely immune to having a meltdown at the power cable?Reply -
valthuer Don't know anything about the rest of the world, but €3.099 (which is roughly $3,600) is the lowest price for a standard 5090 here, in Greece. Sweet Jesus! Can't even begin to imagine how expensive ROG MATRIX will be.Reply -
uplink-svk Lo and behold, a 4000e Red Pen*s!Reply
P.S.: Is it only me, or did anyone else shelled 3500 - 3800e for standard RTX 5090 at launch and now 2800 - 3400e? 🤔
I've went through this route for my personal use and fun and it's been extremely expensive:
Astral > FE > Suprim SOC > Vanguard > FE > Astral, with respective scores of CW of Astrals' 3 - 4/10, FEs' 3,5 - 3,75, Suprim SOCs' 0,75 - 1,75/10, Vanguards' 1,75 - 2,5/10, FEs' R3, VN, 2024/2025 batch 3 - 3,5/10 and ended up with 2nd rev. pf Astral somewhere around 2- 2,75/10.
All cost from 2799e to 3800e. So yeah, the Matrixs' gonna push the envelope to 4500 - 5000e, maybe even 5500 - 6000e here in Slovakia, iF there is one to be found. My limit is 4,3k. What a crazy World we live in... -

I live in Greece.
Back in February, i sold my 4090 for €1.500, in order to cover part of the expenses for 5090.
I had been left without a GPU for weeks, so i was "forced" to pay scalper for my MSI GeForce RTX™ 5090 32G GAMING TRIO OC, which i bought for €3.570.
It hasn't gotten any better in my country and GPU prices are still crazy.
No way in hell i'm gonna spend that much money on a graphics card ever again.
FOMO may have no limits, but my wallet certainly does. :ROFLMAO: -

Yeah, it's FOMO and it's getting a bit justified. While people living in US and Japan have enough of everything, we tend to run out of stock pretty fast in Europe lately. So it's understandable, Your set of mind. I purchased two small memory kits a few weeks ago. 2x24GB, one cost 349e and the other 450e.
Demand on GPUs and RAM is incredibly high due to Ai craze. Plus all the DDR4 systems are being migrated to DDR5. -

I live in Iran 🇮🇷
So that all of you're comments are jock for me because And inside Iran, inflation and import restrictions are so high that we are forced to buy a product at twice the price. It's a funny but bitter situation...
