A UAE-based retailer has put luxury graphics cards from ASUS on sale with premium pricing that exceeds standard market rates. Microless offers the ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab edition at $9,205 and the RTX 5080 Dhahab edition at $2,589. These specialized cards feature Arabic calligraphy designs and contain 6.5 grams of gold plating. The company markets these products globally despite their original Middle East exclusivity. Performance specifications remain identical to standard versions of these graphics processors.
The RTX 5090 Dhahab maintains boost clocks of 2580 MHz with overclocking capabilities reaching 2610 MHz. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 version operates at 2760 MHz base speeds and achieves 2790 MHz when overclocked. Buyers could purchase multiple standard RTX 5090 units for the same cost as one Dhahab edition model. The RTX 5080 Dhahab paradoxically costs more than regular RTX 5090 cards. ASUS positions these items as luxury showpieces rather than performance-focused hardware.
