The new ultra-high-end graphics card is exclusive to the Middle East, and won't be available anywhere else, with a price ranging between $6700 to a quite simply insane $10,600 depending on where you buy it. The new ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 "Dhahab Edition" features an all-gold finish, with the word "Dhahab" meaning gold in Arabic.

ASUS includes 6.5 grams of 999 fineness gold embedded into the RTX 5090, with the gold on the graphics card worth around $700 on its own with today's gold prices.

ASUS is also using a turquoise-like embellishment that refracts light into a beautiful blue-green tone, just like the real stone. The company also uses multiple cultural elements into the design of the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition, which includes Arabic calligraphy, with motifs teasing "strength, courage, and unity". There's also a gold backplate that features machined regional motifs that represent the desert and skyscrapers.

Jackie Hsu, ASUS Senior Vice President and Co-Head of Open Platform and AIoT Business, said: "ASUS is committed to delivering exceptional gaming experiences for our fans in the Middle East. The launch of our NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series lineup for gamers of all backgrounds is a testament to this promise. As a tribute to the fast-growing Middle-East market, we're also thrilled to introduce a limited run of region-exclusive ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition graphics cards for collectors and enthusiasts to appreciate".
