Price was right and gets the job done at an expected level. Runs cool and stays quiet.

Low power draw (300w max) along with 2 space width makes this an easy card to double up in a chassis for use with larger models.

Quiet, looks amazing, the lights on the fans look amazing in person and videos dont do them justice. Overclocked mine averages around 40000 score in port Royal and 15250 in steel nomad.

Beautiful card Well built

Very quiet and a very fast card it runs like a dream when you dont have it in silent mode. Its much quieter then my 3090 and runs a lot cooler

16 GB of VRAM, high clock speeds, PCIE 5. X16. Driver stability (thank you AMD!) Find them on sale if you can! They do drop from time to time, even if not on sale and you're unsure of AMD getting back in the GPU game, they are definitely regrouped and beginning to charge again.

I had an aging GTX 1070 in an HTPC that I recently hooked up to a 4k Display. Couch co-op was getting rough with this set up so I decided to bump the specs. Between bumping from a 1600 to a 3600 I had on hand, and this, the catalog was running very well at 4k60fps (These are 'not' new AAA games, these are mostly at least 3-10 years old, the most graphically demanding is "It Takes Two"). Pleased, I went to close my SilverStone Technology SST-GD05B to find that this card was actually about 1/2" too tall, poking above the frame rails.

I have been a Linux user for a while and an Nvidia fan guy. But after the 4000's and 5000's both had the same problem of burn your house down melting connectors. I decided to try AMD again. I heard The open source Mesa driver was working well so I gave it a try. I could not be more happy. This video card is awesome!!! Also my computer is booting faster without the Nvidia blob installed. I also used the newegg trade in program and got $200 bucks back for my 3060!

Super fast perfomance at all resolutions - 1440p or 4K. Able to run Ultra settings in any game so far (5/2025). Actually runs less power (wattage) for older games capped at 60fps than my old 3090.

I bought this to compress / encode large lossless videos and it works great for that. It's way faster and cooler than my 12th gen Intel CPU while delivering 99% of the quality at very similar file sizes.

cooling system

* Very fast card, about 30 percent rasterization improvement compared to my old card. * Huge Ray Tracing upgrade compared to the RX 6000 series. * Great cooling solution runs nice and cool under full load. * FSR4 is a huge upgrade compared to FSR 3. * Dual bios performance and silent. * Linux plug and play support no driver install needed! * Shipping was fast!

1.) Love the huge cooler, temps always stay low during game sessions. 2.) Card stays quiet despite the size of fans and cooler. 3.) The overclocking ability of the card is very nice, lots of room to tinker with.



The Astral 5090 is the only card currently that I'm aware of that gives you the peace of mind of being able to watch amps flowing into each of the 12V-2x6 wires via the GPU Tweak III software. While the initial melting scares after the 50 series launch do not appear to be wide spread - I love being able to toggle out of a game and quickly see exact amps per wire and feel reassured there are no imbalances. The card itself is also blazingly fast - ideal for playing games in 4K Ultra RT glory.

Runs cool and looks good.

- Fast and powerful. - Excellent thermal performance, staying cool and stable even during extended gaming sessions. - Aesthetics. Aside from the FE 5080 models, this is easily one of the best looking third-party cards available.

Great card, runs cool and powerful, I personally like the RGB.

It arrived earlier than the expected shipping date
