ROG Matrix Platinum GeForce RTX™ 5090 - ASUS Graphics Cards 30th Anniversary Edition- Unleashing next-level gaming and thermal performance.

Featuring innovations honed over 30 years of graphics card design, the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 - ASUS Graphics Cards 30th Anniversary Edition stakes its claim for GPU supremacy.

Asus ROG Matrix RTX 5090: así es la RTX 5090 más potente

Desvelada en la Gamescom, la nueva tarjeta de Asus presume de ser la GPU para juegos más rápida del mercado gracias a su overclocking y mayor TDP.

According to Asus, its new ROG Matrix RTX 5090 isn't just any overclocked RTX 5090. The company has sourced 1,000 specific units capable of running at 2,730 MHz under very demanding circumstances, easily surpassing the 2,407 MHz factory-set on the Founders Edition.

Although Asus hasn't provided gaming benchmarks, we know that FP32 performance increases from 104.8 TFLOPS to 118.9 TFLOPS, and FP16 performance with Tensor from 419 TFLOPS to 475 TFLOPS.

This performance increase, naturally, implies a significantly higher TDP. Specifically, it increases from 575 W to a whopping 800 W. Satisfying this gluttony has not been easy, and during the design phase a dual-connector solution has been chosen, combining a standard 16-pin cable (600 W) with an Asus proprietary BTF (only available on some motherboards) that supplies 200 W.

This thing gonna melt the power cable before being powered on no doubt.

800w + 5kg. Poor poor pcie slot.

It has two:

The ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 can also be powered in two ways: either 12V-2×6 or GC-HPWR, as used for the BTF design in the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero BTF from ASUS. The special feature of the card: If a user has a BTF motherboard, they can use both the 12V-2×6 and GC-HPWR connectors simultaneously, increasing the available power from 600 W to 800 W. This would also bypass the usual power limit of 600 W for GeForce RTX 5090 models.

Gonna buy one of these to heat my house in the winter.

 

[Windom Earle]

This is probably the safest 5090 you can get if you split the power over two cables. But then you need a compatible board + case + the card is going to be very very expensive.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

increasing the available power from 600 W to 800 W.

How fucking wasteful, mah-pixels-fuck-the-planet you have to be to proudly say your card is pulling 800W?

I don't think you will be happy when your energy bill comes.

Is there some reason I'm missing why we can't just plug GPUs into the wall and be done with it? Wouldn't that alleviate all these weird issues and prevent us from buying 1000W+ power supplies?

The PSU regulates the current and/or voltage.

200W more power draw for up to 10% more performance?

If it can be used as a regular 5090 I may get it just for the looks.

Huh? The video shows it's still 1 600W cable + that BTF adapter to draw more from the mobo.

I thought it was gonna be 2 600W cables too(with proper load balancing so no more than 400W per cable) before I watched the video.

I mean... You can just run one cable and/or reduce power limit.

I would seriously consider this card without the stupid Asus proprietary BTF. Just use two 12V-2×6 and be done with it. That should have really been the standard for every 5090.

I thought the BTF cable can pull a lot? Or am I wrong on this? Edit: I guess it's not a cable, goes directly into the mb.

If it's still 600+200 that sucks.

 

[Ulysses 31]

The video shows the BTF adapter just as a bridge connecting the GPU to the mobo almost right next to the PCI-E slot, not as a cable.

I still haven't upgraded to a 5090 yet… curious to see the price and release date.

I assume if you dont use both power connectors and keep it at 575w then a 1000w psu is still fine

What's the point then

 

[Celcius]

Rarity, to collect, etc...

but yeah you're right it's a waste of money

I don't think anyone buying a 5090 has any concern over the price of mobo or case

I am talking about current 5090 owners (like myself). Is there really enough reason to upgrade with an already great setup? Probably not. Also this uses liquid metal, I would not trust Asus with this.

Can't wait to see who buy one on GAF….dont forget in a 1 year and a half 6000
Series will be upon us

 

[Draugoth]

I dont think it's safe to use that thing.

 

[Horseganador]

Ideal for writing on forums.

Apparently it's $5000 as well

 

[The Cockatrice]

Alright guess Imma start an only fans.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

That is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.

 

[Fermbiz]

$10k+ from dirty scalpers.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This will be great to counterbalance the weight of the 50kg cases. Now they'll be level.

We're slowly getting there.

 

[LordOcidax]

800 watts? Damn…

The avatar matches the post LOL

[peish]

For those who dare.

An overclocked, power unleased 5090 is 55% faster than a tuned 4090. This is on air cooling only.

There is a very, very limited selection of BTF boards. For the 4090 it was intel only.

Nice tech, by a pain in the ass if you're building a smaller pc.

 

[viveks86]

800W?! Lol

 

[Kataploom]

OMG, I can play with the power of Monado in my PC

 

[CuteFaceJay]

It has two:

My 3090 also has two but it isn't pulling more power than what the piss poor PICE can handle, Power cables to bloody melting point is insane for home consumer product.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

$5000?

like those ho-hum $250k bentley SUVs with utterly unremarkable interiors
basically scalping dumb rich people
