ASUS has successfully sold a ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition graphics card at a charity auction, fetching $24.2 thousand. Details of the sale were announced on the manufacturer`s official website.
This specific model is typically exclusive to the Middle East market, retailing from $6.7 thousand and featuring embellishments that include 6.5 grams of gold. The card sold at the charity event was a unique piece, distinguished by the autograph of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. This special addition significantly boosted its value, leading to a final auction price nearly four times its standard retail cost.
The proceeds from the graphics card sale will be donated to the TZU CHI USA Foundation. This organization is dedicated to providing aid to victims of natural disasters, promoting environmental protection, and encouraging volunteerism.
