All the articles about the RTX 5090 could also be about a "working" quantum computer: no one has seen it, but everyone offers different models LOL

I wouldn't even enter a giveaway for this, just because of the ASUS (tm) Coil Whine.

I wouldn't say that it's just an Asus thing. At least my current 3080 doesn't have any, but back in the day my Gigabyte GTX 470 SOC sounded like a swarm of grasshoppers.
IMO coil whine is just bad luck, no matter the AIB.

Considering the underlying hardware, it would hardly qualify as a turd.

It's not a moral judgement, but an aesthetic one. And I agree with @azrael, it is tasteless, just as much as a golden Lamborghini Murcielago is (even just the image in my head makes me retch).

It’s actually not THAT tasteless. Don’t get me wrong, not my cup of tea, but at least it’s not ostentatiously glossy gold and chrome. This real, slightly faded gold and turquoise combination is reminiscent of the Ancient Egypt stylistic which isn’t the worst thing in the world. Is it still tacky? Sure. But, genuinely, not significantly more so than almost all of the other GPU designs out there. What, we are going to pretend that the regular black and red angular “xxx666xxxSatan1cxxxGamingOCTurbo” aesthetic is any more tasteful? Please. Anyone who wants an actually reasonably aesthetically pleasing piece of industrial design should just grab the FE.

Kinda comes off as a moral judgment given the use of the word "tasteless".
Regardless, this card is cool looking. I hope they do a similar thing with with the 5080 & 5070.
