Asus ROG has unveiled a new Astral RTX 5080 graphics card decked out with the coveted Dhahab treatment, meaning it contains full 24-carat gold. While pricing hasnt been confirmed, its expected to cost less than its elusive gold RTX 5090 sibling, which has become nearly impossible to find at anything close to its MSRP.Both the GeForce RTX 5090 and the GeForce RTX 5080 sit on our list of the best graphics cards of 2025. The RTX 5080 in particular is a fantastic option for gamers on a budget, delivering great performance in our benchmark tests in Cyberpunk 2077 while being a fraction of the cost of the RTX 5090. Owning an RTX 5080 with the aesthetic of a gold brick would certainly be a flex over other Nvidia RTX 5080 owners, and it might be the next best thing for those who missed the boat on the gold 5090. However, a gold 5080 just doesn't carry the same prestige as a gold 5090, does it? This is where scalpers ruined everything.

Nvidia is reportedly lining up a new version of its flagship gaming GPU for release, with a lesser spec than the standard card. With strict US export restrictions on its most powerful tech, Nvidia has apparently developed a new version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 with just 24GB of VRAM, rather than the 32GB on the standard card, which is likely to be aimed at the Chinese market. One tech leaker has also alluded to a surprise with this graphics card, which were hoping is a positive one.Apart from the memory and its interface, though, the core spec of this new Nvidia GPU looks very similar to the specs we tested in our GeForce RTX 5090 review. The new variation of Nvidias best GPU could reportedly be called the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 DD, and is reportedly based on a variant of the GB202 GPU used in the standard 5090, called GB202-240-K*-A1, and it apparently keeps all the key parts enabled.

Dark fantasy action RPG Lost in Random was one of my favorite surprises in recent years.

Four years on, the studio is now part of Thunderful, and its just launched a roguelike sequel called Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. Boasting Hades' style combat, its out now on Steam, and you can try a free demo today.
