Asus tempts fate, unleashes 800W "XOC" vBIOS for its $4,000 ROG Matrix RTX 5090 — Overclockers and high-end GPU junkies now have their hands on the hottest, most power-hungry 5090 around

Asus has released an 800W "XOC" vBIOS for its $4,000 ROG Matrix RTX 5090 GPU, allowing for extreme overclocking potential. Users are experimenting with flashing this firmware on their cards to achieve higher boost clocks and performance gains in games and productivity applications. However, not all RTX 5090 models are compatible with this custom BIOS, with some high-end variants like the Asus TUF and Astral not currently working. The BIOS, available on TPU, significantly increases power consumption and may void warranties, but promises to unlock up to 200W of extra power for those seeking to break world records through extreme overclocking.
