This RTX 5090 graphics card draws up to 800W and looks like a model from 2008


The Asus ROG Matrix 5090 30th Anniversary Special Edition is rated for 800W and sports a retro look - making it the most powerful consumer GPU ever.

As well as a see-through 720Hz tandem OLED gaming monitor, Asus unveiled a retro-looking graphics card that draws up to 800W - a massive 200W jump over the most powerful RTX 5090 models and 215W over the base spec. That accounts for the unusual circular frame of the far end, which refers back to a card Asus launched in 2008, but inside there are also manufacturing and design elements from later models: 3mm copper PCBs, vapour chamber cooling, liquid metal, four fans and so on. Asus say that the graphics card only delivers around 10 percent higher frame-rates, even at a rated boost clock of 2730MHz - versus 2407MHz for a base 5090.
