$500,000 gold RTX 5090 is now worth $830,000 thanks to rocketing commodity prices — Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition was actually a savvy investment, worth over 50% more than at inception

Asus' unique ROG Astral RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition, initially priced at $500,000, has now surged in value to approximately $830,000 due to the rising prices of both gold and premium graphics cards. The card, which contains 5kg of gold, has seen its scrap gold value increase by around 54%, contributing to its current valuation. In contrast, the more common ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhabab Edition, with only 6.5g of gold, is worth significantly less at around $1,080. Despite its high price in the UAE, removing the gold from the Dhabab Edition would diminish its overall value.
