ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090 delayed: the most expensive gaming card in history awaits ?

Advanced gamers and hardware enthusiasts will have to wait a little longer. In fact, the ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090, the anticipated flagship with NVIDIA’s Blackwell chip, will be delayed. The manufacturer has confirmed that its release has been pushed back to the end of November, while we also know its indicative price. In the following lines, we’ll take a look at what makes this card stand out, what technical specifications it offers, and how much it will cost at launch.

Ultimate design and cooling ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090

The ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090 card is designed as a premium edition to celebrate ROG’s 30th anniversary. On the ASUS website, we see that this is the “30th Anniversary Edition” model equipped with extreme cooling and power features. In terms of design, this is a really big model with a quad-fan solution (four fans), a large copper vapour chamber as well as the use of liquid metal to transfer heat from the chip

The power mechanics are also unique – the card can be connected via a special BTF interface (for a certain ASUS motherboard series), allowing up to 800W of power when combined with a classic 12V-2×6 connector.

For those who were planning to build an extreme build or were looking for the “ultimate card” without compromises, the ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090 might be an interesting choice. Meanwhile, the cooling promises increased stability, higher boost frequencies and lower temperatures even under extreme loads.

Technical specifications of the ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090

In terms of tech, the card is based on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series. Specifically, the ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090 is equipped with a next-generation chip (Blackwell architecture) and 32 GB of GDDR7 memory. ASUS states that thanks to a power interface of up to 800W, the card can achieve up to approximately 10% performance over the standard limit. This should make it excel not only in 4K gaming, but also in demanding rendering or creative scenarios (video, 3D, AI) – making it very attractive in a higher price range.

Recall that performance tests are not yet publicly published in full, so exact FPS numbers in 1080p/1440p/4K will only be available during reviews. However, from the available information, the card is expected to be significantly faster than previous generations – it is an extreme high-end model that knows no barriers.

Availability and price

According to the latest information, the launch of the ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090 has been delayed. It was originally expected in October 2025, but the availability has been pushed back to the end of November 2025. Early listings suggest a price of around $4,400 USD. With such a high price tag and a production run limited to only 1,000 units, this GPU is clearly aimed at ultra-enthusiasts and collectors. The final retail price in the US may vary depending on taxes and retailer markup.

Conclusion

The ASUS ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 5090 graphics card is no longer just a subject of speculation – we know its price and launch date. If you crave absolute performance in 4K gaming, creative projects, or AI work, this is one of the fastest and most exclusive cards ASUS has created to date. The $4,400 USD + price tag and limited production run make it more of a collector’s item than a mainstream product.

Before buying it, expect it to require a high-end power supply, plenty of space and preferably a BTF powered motherboard to get the most out of it.
