The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC DOOM Edition features a unique green and gold color scheme, complete with DOOM Slayer artwork on the backplate and Shield Saw-inspired green fans.

Beyond aesthetics, this graphics card boasts impressive specs. Armed with an RTX 5080 GPU and 16GB of GDDR7 memory, it's built for boundary-pushing performance. Asus's robust cooling system, including four Axial-tech fans, patented vapor chamber design, and phase-change thermal pad, ensures optimal temperatures even during intense gaming sessions.

According to Asus, the ROG Astral lineup even sports a gyroscopic sensor that warns users via the GPU Tweak III software if the card sags in its slot.

The DOOM Edition goes beyond the card itself, offering an exclusive bundle sold on the Bethesda Gear Store. Purchasers will receive a mouse mat, T-shirt, yellow key card, and the coveted DOOM Slayer Legionary in-game skin. Gamers can also opt for a Deluxe edition of DOOM: The Dark Ages alongside the bundle.

While pricing details remain undisclosed, expectations are that the limited availability and premium ROG Astral features will command a price significantly higher than a standard RTX 5080. A placeholder price of $666,666.66 was listed temporarily on the Bethesda Gear Store as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the demonic theme. While the release date may coincide with the game's launch, further details are still forthcoming.

The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 OC DOOM Edition aims to deliver both performance and visual flair for gamers diving into DOOM: The Dark Ages. Is this the ultimate graphics card for demon-slaying enthusiasts, or just a pricy collectible? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
