ASUS released a special edition RTX 5080 graphics card featuring Noctua cooling technology that costs 16,599 Yuan on Chinese retailer JD. The price nearly doubles the standard RTX 5080 reference model cost of 8,299 Yuan in China. This premium variant uses a four-slot design with Noctua NF-A12 fans for quiet operation and superior heat management. The company markets this card as the quietest RTX 5080 available on the market.
Currency conversion places the Noctua edition at approximately $2,313, which approaches the $1,999 retail price of the flagship RTX 5090. Standard RTX 5080 models typically retail between $1,200 and $1,500 across most global markets. The Noctua version provides minimal performance gains with only a 100 MHz boost clock increase over reference specifications. Buyers could purchase two standard RTX 5080 cards for the same amount, while an RTX 5090 would deliver significantly better gaming performance at this price point.
