**TAIPEI, Taiwan (January 7, 2025)** – ASUS today announced its new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, highlighting the groundbreaking ROG Astral line. This series boasts cutting-edge performance and a sleek design, available in both air-cooled and liquid-cooled variants.
Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, the RTX 50 Series delivers significant performance boosts for gamers and creators alike. Key features include NVIDIA DLSS 4 for enhanced frame rates, and NVIDIA Studio for improved creative workflows. The cards also leverage NVIDIA NIM microservices for AI-powered assistance.
The ROG Astral series, inspired by celestial phenomena, features the first quad-fan design from ROG, resulting in up to 20% increased airflow compared to previous generations. This improved cooling, coupled with a patented vapor-chamber design and a phase-change thermal pad, enables unprecedented clock speeds and enhanced longevity. The cards also include powerful 80-amp MOSFETs for superior overclocking potential and a protective PCB coating for increased durability.
The ROG Astral series features a futuristic design and advanced software features within GPU Tweak III, including a thermal map, power detector, and mileage tracker. The liquid-cooled ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX 5090 offers up to 30% better thermal performance than its air-cooled counterpart.
ASUS also introduced other RTX 50 Series cards: ROG Strix variants (RTX 5070 Ti and 5070), TUF Gaming models (RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070), and ASUS Prime cards (RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070). All feature advancements like phase-change thermal compound and enhanced durability.
