$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.

Mobile RTX 2070 with shunt mod nearly eclipses desktop performance — 60W boost provides 15% performance uplift

Mobile RTX 2070 with shunt mod nearly eclipses desktop performance — 60W boost provides 15% performance uplift

A PC enthusiast successfully shunt modded their Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile GPU, boosting performance by approximately 15%. By pushing the mobile GPU beyond its power limit to 175W, it nearly matches the performance of its desktop counterpart. Shunt mods involve changing a shunt resistor on the graphics card PCB to allow more current to reach the GPU without altering the vBIOS. The modder, HerrBolsch, conducted this modification as part of a project to re-house and water-cool a Zotac Mini PC. Post-modification assessments confirmed improved performance and manageable thermals, with the modded RTX 2070 Mobile keeping pace with a desktop card.
