ASUS Republic of Gamers is celebrating three decades of innovation with a GPU built for the elite. The ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 — 30th Anniversary Edition has officially launched, and it pushes both performance and power limits farther than any previous ROG card.

The special-edition GPU boasts a quad-fan cooling system, a copper vapor chamber, liquid-metal thermal compound, and a three-ounce copper PCB layer—all engineered to keep temperatures in check as the card reaches record-breaking performance levels. ASUS even equipped it with Memory Defroster, a feature specifically designed for overclockers using LN2 to recover VRAM from freezing temperatures.

But the real headline? This card can draw up to 800 watts of power when paired with an Advanced BTF motherboard and 12V-2×6 connector setup. That extreme wattage enables performance boosts of up to 10%, depending on system configuration and cooling. It’s not your typical plug-and-play GPU—this is a card designed for enthusiasts who push hardware to its limits.

The Anniversary Edition also integrates seamlessly with ASUS GPU Tweak III, giving users access to advanced telemetry, performance tuning, Power Detector+ alerts, and sag-level monitoring through built-in hardware sensors.

With limited availability and a premium price tag reported at around USD $3,999, this card clearly targets overclockers, hardware collectors, and power users—not the everyday gamer. Still, with its extreme engineering and commemorative status, the ROG Matrix RTX 5090 is already positioning itself as one of the most ambitious GPUs of its generation.
