In brief: Seeing graphics cards selling way above their MSRP is a frustrating reminder of the current market situation. Things are even worse on auction sites like eBay, which have listings for RTX 5090 cards well over $5,000.

As the name suggests, the card is a special edition of the regular ROG Astral designed specifically for the Middle East it features Arabic calligraphy, images of skyscrapers, and motifs representing strength, courage, and unity. The whole thing's a little ostentatious, with an almost entirely gold finish and a turquoise, stone-style design.As reported by TechPowerUp, Asus' Director of Marketing at the firm's North American branch, Ernest Cheng, posted a photo from GTC yesterday of a ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab OC model with a unique feature that makes it even more expensive: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's signature, alongside the RTX On! slogan.Asus hasn't yet revealed the price of the Dhahab card. Considering that the standard ROG Astral RTX 5090 had a $2,800 price at launch and is now $3,359 on Newegg, buying one of these special editions is going to cost a small fortune. With Jensen's signature on this model, expect it to go for a five-figure sum.Thankfully, Asus says it will be donating the proceeds of the card's auction to charity, supporting relief efforts for the California wildfires in Los Angeles. // Related StoriesAs for how much it will sell for, a ROG Matrix RTX 4090 Platinum card also signed by Jensen Huang had a winning bid of $16,000 in 2023.
