There are only 666 of this ROG Astral RTX 5080 Doom Edition being made and I'd go to Hell and back to get one if it wasn't $2,000

Asus says this card is a celebration of a few things. For starters, Doom: The Dark Ages coming out—that's a given—but also it's been 30 years since the company started making GPUs. Ain't that neat, the company is nearly as old as Doomguy.

"It is also the 30th anniversary for our graphics card division this year, and we've got a lot in store to celebrate," says Sharon Chang, Asus, at an event at the company's HQ.

Catch up with Computex 2025: We're stalking the halls of Taiwan's biggest tech show once again to see what Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and more have to offer.

Yeah, it's one helluva card, but there is a slight catch. Firstly, Asus is only making 666 of these bad boys, and secondly, you have to pre-order it for the grand total of $2,000 over at the Bethesda store. That's, uh, double the asking price of an RTX 5080. Technically you also get a T-shirt, copy of the game and premium content, whatever that means, an oversized mouse pad and a replica yellow keycard.

Asus put together a show rig with all Doom-inspired parts and case over at its Computex event, and damn does it look lovely. Yet would I part ways with $2,000 for this card alone? Hell no.
