ASUS to reveal new ROG Astral RTX 5080 at Gamescom on August 19 to celebrate 30th anniversary

ASUS has been celebrating 30 years in the graphics card business, and will be unveiling a new ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card at Gamescom 2025 on August 19.

The company has been teasing new product launches and a bunch of giveaways ahead of the event, with ASUS preparing to unveil a new graphics card teased as a "30th Anniversary Edition" release. The folks at VideoCardz looked into the page's source code on the ASUS website and found some placeholder data, commented out, with references to the ROG Astral RTX 5080 Hatsune Miku, but that card was unveiled just over a week ago now.

We were expecting to see a new RTX 5090 design from ASUS, but it looks like the company will be unveiling a new RTX 5080 design as the AI TOPS performance numbers match the 5080, and that the Hatsune Miku variant is probably just a temporary placeholder.

We were also expecting to see a new high-end ROG Matrix or Poseidon release, but it's probably going to be (yet) another ROG Astral model, as the description itself says we'll see a quad-fan graphics card released.

Gamescom 2025 begins on August 20 and runs through to August 24, with the GPU unveiling from ASUS to celebrate its 30th anniversary in the graphics card business being unveiled on August 19, so we don't have much longer to wait.
