ASUS Unveils ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 DOOM Edition for $1,999

ASUS has launched the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 DOOM Edition, a limited-edition graphics card celebrating the 30th anniversary of ASUS graphics cards and the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages. This exclusive GPU features a distinctive green and gold color scheme, DOOM Slayer artwork on the backplate, and Shield Saw-inspired fans, making it a collector’s item for fans of the franchise. 

Under the hood, the ROG Astral RTX 5080 is powered by NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture and comes equipped with 16GB of GDDR7 memory. It boasts a boost clock of up to 2730 MHz in OC mode and features 10,752 CUDA cores. The card utilizes a patented vapor chamber, phase-change thermal pad, and four Axial-tech fans to ensure efficient cooling during intense gaming sessions. 

The DOOM Edition bundle is limited to just 666 units worldwide and is priced at $1,999.99, or $1,899.99 without a copy of DOOM: The Dark Ages. While the card offers the same performance as the standard RTX 5080, its unique design and bundled DOOM merchandise make it a premium offering for enthusiasts. 

For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, ASUS also offers the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC Edition, which features a boost clock of up to 2730 MHz, 16GB of GDDR7 memory, and a robust cooling system with triple Axial-tech fans. This model provides the same core performance as the DOOM Edition without the premium aesthetics. 

Both versions of the RTX 5080 are available through various retailers, including Best Buy Canada, Memory Express, and Canada Computers. Gamers looking to experience the latest in graphics performance can choose between the exclusive DOOM Edition or the more accessible TUF Gaming model, depending on their preferences and budget.
