ASUS Begins Pre-Ordering for ROG Matrix RTX 5090 GPU at an Eye-Watering Price of $3,999
Pre-orders for ASUS ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 started today via its US ASUS store, with a jaw-dropping price tag of $3,999. This custom model, announced two months ago, targets a very upscale clientele as a limited-edition product.
Costs Double That of the Reference Edition
The $3,999 price tag is double the official MSRP of a reference GeForce RTX 5090. This price point obligates the ROG Matrix to be in a class beyond all of the other custom models, which usually range from $2,500 to $3,000. For the price of one ROG Matrix card, a customer could buy:
- Two RTX 5090 reference GPUs (at MSRP).
- An RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 combo at existing market prices.
- One complete pre-built gaming rig with an RTX 5090 and a flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU.
Design, Power, and Connectivity
The ROG Matrix RTX 5090 has a unique design and reliable power capabilities. The main physical features include:
- A triple-fan cooling solution.
- Dual power connectors including the company's standard 12V-2x6 connector and a BTF interface that works with compatible ASUS motherboards.
- An edging circular frame bearing customizable ARGB Aura Lighting.
- Up to 800W of potential maximum power draw being possible due to the use of two connectors.
Limited Edition Justifies the Cost
The price is justified by the custom design and limited availability. The ROG Matrix RTX 5090 is a limited-edition product, with a global shipment planned for just 1,000 units. The figures are attractive to hard-core fans of Rog and Matrix and collectors who would pay above-ordinary prices for such exclusive pieces of raw hardware.
