Asus GeForce RTX 5090 ROG Astral LC OC 32GB GDDR7 (ROG-ASTRAL-LC-RTX5090-O32G-GAMING)

Perhaps the most powerful graphics card of the current generation, leading the GeForce RTX 50 series presented by NVIDIA in 2025. The model is equipped with significantly improved tensor cores, a progressive GB202 graphics chip and previously unseen 32 GB of video memory (GDDR7, not GDDR6), which significantly expand its capabilities for gaming and professional work. In addition to entertainment, NVIDIA positions it as an extremely powerful tool for 3D rendering, creating 3D graphics, processing author's content, as well as working with AI and neural networks.

In particular, it is equipped with a much more productive neural block than its predecessor RTX 4090, which can be equally useful for both professional work and gaming. In the latter case, we are talking about the updated DLSS 4 complex, which allows you to increase the frame rate per second by 4 - 8 times without losing image quality. For this, ChatGPT-style transformer neural networks are used.

They are responsible for intelligent upscaling and a multi-frame generation system. Against the background of other modifications of the GeForce RTX 5090, the ROG Astral LC version stands out due to its hybrid cooling system. The cooling system includes a separate copper cooler, a water block, a massive radiator with three active fans and long pipes that connect all the elements together.

One of the features is the simple installation, which does not require the organization of non-standard liquid cooling systems or the purchase of additional parts. This approach made it possible to slightly reduce the dimensions of the model compared to similar models in the classic design - the length of the video card itself is 288 mm, and the card takes up 2.5 slots instead of 3.5.
