ASUS at the 2025 Computex showed off the ROG Astral RTX 5080 DOOM Edition graphics card. If you've been paying attention to the company's ROG Astral Dhahab Edition cards lately, you know that ASUS is on a spree releasing custom variants of the ROG Astral series. Much like the Dhahab Edition, the DOOM Edition isn't just a sticker job, ASUS put in effort to customize the color of its cooler shroud, and other body panels. The card commemorates "DOOM: The Dark Ages," which released late last week. You can see sticker artwork from the game on the backplate. The cooler shroud is in a color scheme matching the aesthetic of the game. Decals of the Slayer shield takes up the fan impeller hubs. More interestingly, the aluminium fin-stack heatsink has a reddish copper-like finish. This is a different shade from the gold ones in the Dhahab Edition, and the silver-chrome ones in the regular ROG Astral cards. Shown at Computex is the RTX 5080 DOOM Edition. We've tested the technical aspects of the game, and can tell you that the RTX 5080 can max out the game at 4K UHD, so it's unlikely that there will be an RTX 5090 DOOM Edition.

True, it's a bank job.
 
I feel sorry for modern kids. Toys have gotten crazy expensive these last few years. On the other hand, maybe more kids will find more fulfilling (and healthy!) hobbies than gaming - like sports, for example
