Asus debuts ROG Astral RTX 5090 curved AMOLED

The company has unveiled a trio of extreme PC components at CES 2025, headlined by a version of its upcoming GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card that packs a large curved AMOLED display directly into the cooler shroud. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition 20 is not just a standard flagship card — it is a statement piece designed for enthusiasts who want their hardware to double as desktop art.

The card features a 20-inch curved AMOLED panel built into its front fascia, an unusual addition that the company says can display system stats, animations, or custom wallpapers. It is powered by Nvidia’s next-generation Blackwell architecture, though the firm has not yet confirmed final clock speeds or pricing.

The “Dhahab” name, Arabic for gold, matches the card’s copper-and-gold aesthetic.

A power supply that can handle almost anything

Alongside the GPU, it announced the ROG Thor 3000W Platinum III, a power supply unit rated for 3,000 watts. That is enough to run multiple high-end GPUs and CPUs simultaneously, far exceeding what even a dual-RTX 5090 setup would likely need under normal conditions.

The unit carries an 80 Plus Platinum efficiency rating and uses gallium nitride (GaN) transistors for its main switching stage, which the manufacturer claims improves thermal performance and reduces size compared to traditional silicon-based designs. It also includes a small OLED display on the side for monitoring power draw in real time.

For context, most high-end gaming PCs today run comfortably on 1,000-watt to 1,200-watt PSUs.

The Thor 3000W is clearly aimed at extreme overclockers, mining rigs, or workstation builds with multiple GPUs. It is not a product most consumers will need — but it exists for those who do.

A case that looks like something from a sci-fi set

Asus also introduced the ROG Hyperion GR701 BTF, a full-tower PC case with a design that leans heavily into angular, futuristic lines. It supports the company’s “BTF” (Back to the Future) standard, which routes cables behind the motherboard tray for a cleaner look.

The case includes a built-in GPU support bracket, a hinged tempered glass side panel, and multiple dust filters. It also has integrated RGB lighting strips that can be controlled through the firm’s Armoury Crate software. The Hyperion GR701 BTF is compatible with E-ATX motherboards and can house radiators up to 420mm in the front and 360mm in the top.

None of these products have announced pricing or release dates yet. The company typically rolls out its ROG lineup over several months following CES announcements, so availability may vary by region and product.

The Dhahab Edition’s display is not the first time the manufacturer has put a screen on a graphics card — earlier ROG Strix cards featured smaller monochrome or RGB panels — but a 20-inch curved AMOLED is a significant step up. Whether it adds practical value or is simply a showpiece remains an open question, but it does distinguish the card from the many RTX 5090 variants expected from other manufacturers.

The 3,000W PSU, meanwhile, raises questions about where the industry is headed. Power demands for high-end components have climbed steadily over the past decade, and a 3,000-watt unit suggests the company expects that trend to continue — or at least wants to be ready if it does. Some analysts have pointed out that such a unit would also support future server or AI accelerator cards in a single desktop chassis.

For now, these announcements are a reminder that the PC hardware market still has room for products that push beyond what most people need. The Dhahab Edition, the Thor 3000W, and the Hyperion GR701 BTF are all built for a specific kind of builder — one who values maximum capability and visual flair over budget constraints.
