A few weeks ago, live from CES, you were able to discover the entire RTX range that we were able to handle at Asus. We were particularly impressed by the top-of-the-range ASTRAL, in both Air and liquid cooled versions (ROG RTX 5090 Astral LC).

Today, we’re back to finalising our tests on this RTX 5090 Astral LC version. As you’ve no doubt already noticed, this version relies heavily on its avant-garde design and imposing format. This version uses a liquid cooling system (LC) to optimise its performance and reduce the temperature under load.
Unboxing ASUS ROG RTX 5090 Astral LC
Before our detailed test, we invite you to discover the card in detail with our video :
Our video clearly illustrates Asus’ ambition with this RTX 5090 ASTRAL LC: to offer an outstanding graphics card that is powerful, silent and designed to push back the limits of gaming and content creation. Obviously, the very high-end positioning of this reference means that we’re going to be paying very close attention to what it will actually do for its future owners. This card is clearly not for everyone, and Asus makes no secret of the fact, targeting the most affluent enthusiasts with this new Astral ‘family’. So, exceptional performance and incredible silence? With a card like this, will you be able to play with everything set to maximum without turning your environment into a domestic wind tunnel? We’ll tell you all about it very soon.
If you’re generally interested in the very high-end trend, we were also able to push the MSI RTX 5090 SUPRIM X to its limits. The result is some big overclocking scores, without any need for extreme techniques. Take a look at our live report on the subject.
