ASUS Makes Every Day a Snow Day - Fully Introduces GeForce RTX 50 Series White Editions

[T0@st]

Our diverse lineup of GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards is getting even larger with the arrival of new White Editions. With these high-performance, cutting-edge cards, you'll be able to keep your frost-hued battlestation color coordinated. Check out the snazzy new White Edition offerings from ROG, TUF Gaming, and Prime.

Max out your snow-white rig with peak power from ROG Astral
If you want the most power possible in a ravishing white graphics card, consider the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 White Edition 32 GB and ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 White Edition 16 GB. These VRAM-loaded cards comprise the top of the power stack. They both feature a quad-fan design for more airflow than last-gen's flagship cards, our patented vapor chamber tech, and eight heatpipes for incredible heat dissipation. These cards also swap out thermal paste for a premium phase-change thermal pad, enhancing the longevity of the graphics card's thermal interface material.




Beyond incredible cooling capabilities, these cards also place an emphasis on premium power delivery. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090's 80-amp MOSFETs provide 35% more headroom than traditional designs, giving you the stability you need to push your card hard. The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 also pairs with our GPU Tweak III app to give you Power Detector+, which checks the reliability of your 16-pin power connection. The app will alert you to any current abnormalities in the pins of your PCIe power connector, ensuring you know how your card is holding up at all times. And for additional protection, both the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 and ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 sport protective PCB coating to protect your card from short-circuits.



While these White Edition cards overhaul the ROG Astral line's color scheme, they maintain our original ROG Astral cards' incredible builds. Both White Edition cards feature a sturdy metal frame, fan shroud, and backplate as well as retain the line's signature sci-fi stylings. Pair either of these top-of-the-line graphics cards with our white ROG Hyperion GR701 PC case for a truly elite, snowy setup.

Stay rugged with durable TUF GeForce RTX 5070 Ti White Edition graphics cards
TUF Gaming is getting the White Edition treatment with the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti White Edition 16 GB and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti BTF White Edition 16 GB graphics cards. Both cards pack the power of a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in addition to phase-change thermal compound for efficient cooling and a host of durability enhancements. These cards both sport protective PCB coating to prevent short-circuits and utilize military-grade components for longevity. The cards' Axial-tech fans' long blades provide more airflow than standard fan designs. And 0dB technology means when these cards aren't under heavy loads, their fans will shut off so you can enjoy quiet computing.



If you want the cleanest, most visually optimized rig possible, our TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti BTF White Edition is built specifically for you. Thanks to its BTF detachable high-power (GC-HPWR) adapter, this gorgeous white card minimizes cable clutter and dazzles from inside your PC case. And that connector is detachable, meaning the graphics card is compatible with our BTF motherboards as well as standard motherboards.

Get a small form factor White Edition graphics card from Prime
The ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5070 White Edition graphics card is the optimal solution for gamers building a small-form-factor (SFF) PC. This card sports a convenient 2.5-slot design, so it'll fit in most cases with ease. It features phase-change thermal compound and three Axial-tech fans for incredible thermal efficiency in a compact package.



This card's also a winner for anyone who loves PC components with curved, sleek designs. If you want a smooth, svelte graphics card with tastefully minimalist visual accents, give the Prime GeForce RTX 5070 White Edition a look.

White power supply units to pair with your new graphics card
You're going to need a strong, capable PSU to keep up with the latest and greatest graphics cards. But strength isn't all that matters—you'll also want a power supply that matches your rig's aesthetics. That's why we have white PSUs designed specifically for enthusiasts who want a color-coordinated PC.

For the flagship ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 White Edition and ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 White Edition, you're going to need lots of power. That's why we recommend the ROG Thor 1200 W Platinum III White Edition PSU. Be on the lookout for it starting in late May 2025. This power supply's GaN MOSFET ensures efficient power delivery so you're not wasting electricity. The patented intelligent voltage stabilizer enhances voltage delivery by up to 45% over standard PSUs, giving you stable gameplay with rock-solid performance. And the unit's ROG heatsinks keep temperatures and noise low. The PSU even features 0dB technology. When not under load, its fan shuts off to give you a truly quiet experience.



If you opt for a TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti White Edition or TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti BTF White Edition, check out the TUF Gaming 1000 W Gold White Edition power supply. Not only is this PSU custom-designed to match white TUF cards' aesthetics, but it features the TUF line's military-grade components for enhanced durability, with a 10-year warranty backing them. Its PCB coating guards against short circuits and its 80 Plus Gold certification promises premium power delivery. Plus, the PSU sports fully modular etched cables for easy cable management, making it a great match for the tidiness-focused TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti BTF White Edition.



Finally, the Prime 750 W Gold PSU is a perfect match for the Prime GeForce RTX 5070 White Edition. The unit can be installed such that only the white portion of its exterior is visible, giving you the snow-white PC of your dreams. And beyond looking great, this PSU will deliver your card the power it needs. Featuring 80 Plus Gold certification, dual ball fan bearings, and other premium components designed for premium power delivery, the Prime 750 W Gold PSU is ready to rock. It features an 8-year warranty so you can game for years with absolute confidence in your purchase. If you think you'll need even more juice to power peripherals and overclocking endeavors, level up with a Prime 850 W Gold PSU.

All the PSUs referenced here are ATX 3.1 compatible and PCIe 5.1 ready, meaning they're ready for the heavyweight demands of next-generation graphics cards. With these PSUs, you'll have the freedom to upgrade as you see fit. If you're unsure how much power your gaming PC needs, use our handy PSU calculator. It'll calculate recommendations based on your GPU and CPU combination.

These are nice. There needs to be more white themed parts!

 

[Kwadratowicz]

They are indeed, but I think that more color could be useful, cause black and white dominate pc (mostly black).

 

[mechtech]

Looks like the Radeon cooler.....................but I guess that makes sense not to have 100 different coolers.

Yes more white would be nice and even nicer without the $$ white premium...........

 

[Gmr_Chick]

Yet another way to further jack up the prices of certain parts - paint 'em white!

You might be missing some very important context. You see, there's no extra painting involved. Makers can, at their option, during the design phase of product development, choose make the plastics and the parts from any color they wish. The cost difference is negligible if it exists at all. They can just as easily make the parts out of Neon Yellow or Puke Green if they want. Yeah, that's how that works.

So you're complaining about a non-issue. If you're going to complain, and "shadeshun" someone about something, make sure you have a legitimate complaint that you don't embarrass yourself with and doesn't look make you look silly. Your own avatar contains advice you should follow yourself.

I would love to see some Silver or Brass/Gold type colors.

Nope.....

White shroud + black pcb + chrome/silver bracket + silver accents does not a "white"card make !

The cost difference is negligible if it exists at all.

Lex, I agree with you, but if this is supposedly true, then why do most mfgrs almost always charge more for white parts than they do for their identical black parts, ie cases, mobo's, fans etc.....hummmm ?

Oh do tell please

There is no "IF". Should a maker produce a whole product lineup, there is no extra cost as the volume costs are the same or very close to the same. If it's a special run, then yes there is more expense but not a lot. Lot's of white parts exist. They generally cost the same as the black versions. There are exceptions, such as Noctua's nonsense. I build white themed PCs all the time and the parts are never more(or much more) expensive, there's just fewer of them. Things are changing though as white themed builds are becoming more popular.

Sadly, only Yeston and Powercolor have completely white cards with white PCB, heatsink, fans, etc. At least that's the only two brands I can think of that do.

There is a gold one, but it's real gold and therefore $6-8000

On topic they look nice, always happy to see more white goods.

Jesus I'm sorry if my reply triggered you.

I wasn't complaining, just stating a fact - white editions of parts like GPUs and cases are almost always priced higher than their stock black editions. That's all I was saying. Didn't need to go apeshit on me.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Not triggered, more slightly irritated.

As always, it depends. Sometimes what you're saying is correct as special manufacturing runs can bump up prices. But not always, not even most of the time.

Didn't need to go apeshit on me.

That was not me "going apeshit". Let's not over-react.

I used that term because, well...you always seem like such a chill dude, and your reply to my original post just seemed especially barbed with the veiled insult that I should take advice from my own avatar and shut the fuck up. You didn't need to go that far.

Fair enough. There's been a lot of messy, aggressive talk with some user and brand shaming going on and it felt like you were joining in for a moment. My apologies.

Let's be fair, volume pricing for plastics are almost the same regardless of the colour used, so when people chime in with price complaints it just seems "off".
