Asus Astral RTX 5090 OC
LDLC was very helpful.
I ordered the GPU all the way from South Africa. Was shipped in less than a week. The whole process was effortless and easy.
Thank you LDLC

The card was well received and fits perfectly into a Fractal North XL Mesh without any issues. However, you do need to remove the left side panel (when facing the tower) and the small additional panel in order to install it correctly.
The card comes with its own current monitor on the 12V-2x6 power input, which is reflected in gputweak III, and for the moment the current is balanced across all cables.
The card also comes with a small extendable magnetic anti-sag bracket that fits into the corner of the card. In my case (Fractal North XL), the minimum size (55mm) was still too large. From memory, I had 52mm of distance between the card and the separation with the PSU area of the tower. Ordering an extendable bracket ranging from 50mm to 80mm solved the problem.
In terms of performance, I haven't been able to push it to its limits yet, but in Blender, the viewport is much smoother (I'm coming from a 1060ti 6GB, so it's quite a difference).
An excellent card for both gaming and 3D/video editing!
Having had a problem with an MSI 5090 that I had to send back, I ordered this one instead and it's far superior in terms of quality of finish (all-metal casing) and even cooling, doesn't exceed 60°C in the middle of a gaming session :)
The Astral really is a benchmark!
At least 50% more frames per second in VR than the previous generation (still without interpolation). The card swallows the high resolutions of good headsets much better. Its latency is also lower at equal fps, offering smoother images. Very quiet when slightly undervolted and the fan curves adjusted. Choose the silent VBIOS and forget about it (the watercooling version's water pump is much noisier). The GPU Tweak tool can be used to check that the power cable is sufficiently balanced between its 6 phases. RGB can be controlled with OpenRGB.
Negative points: Little gain over the 4090 in 4k (~+30%). Very high power consumption, so heats up a lot. You need a power supply of at least 1200W and a case with good airflow. Price well above the Nvidia reference model.
A really cool card to use, very satisfying in terms of rendering on all types of games. The all-metal architecture of the graphics card is also a plus in terms of cooling.
The only fault I can give is the lack of supply, which creates quite a long waiting time after you order, but I think that's quite normal, given that it's a top-of-the-range card.
First of all, I truly admire LDLC's customer service—they are kind and extremely helpful overall.
Even though the order took almost a month and a half to arrive, it finally came safely and was packed nicely.
I’m super satisfied with the service level, as well as the product's power and capabilities.
Thank you, LDLC, for making dreams a reality!
A monster of power! Asus Rog quality! Very nice card, good materials, the
Best rtx 5090 card
Yes, this 5090 Astral Edition graphics card is absolutely brilliant.
Both in terms of design quality and performance.
Thanks to the new AI-driven DLSS 4 and its unprecedented raw power, today's games are reaching an unprecedented level of fidelity. In fact, in 4k / ULTRA / FULL RT we're talking 120 FPS (DLAA) & more in quality mode.
Cyberpunk 2077 / Indiana Jones / StarCitizen / are simply incredible.
In short, I have no regrets about buying this graphics card.
I'm having a blast every day & the best is yet to come.
I finally have this monstrous card in my hands!
It's a jewel of technology, combining power and style. ASUS has managed to delight us. If you can afford it and have the opportunity to buy it, go for it!
very pleased, the order took a little time due to lack of stock overall but I was lucky enough to order it before the price went up so very happy with the price.
Nothing to complain about - quality product that meets the highest expectations - simply stunning!
Best computer professional in the Var, personalised advice, the staff know what they're talking about, the prices are a bit more expensive than elsewhere but the after-sales service is second to none, they always find the fault and there's nothing to say about the service, which is perfect. I highly recommend it.
