Abstract:
When a 3D artist recently purchased an RTX 5090 graphics card in the second-hand market, he unexpectedly received a unique treasure in the world - the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC 30th Anniversary Edition. The back of the card was printed with the autograph of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
The 3D artist revealed that he and his friends purchased two RTX 5090 graphics cards on the second-hand market for a 3D project. One of them was confirmed to be the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC version, and he initially thought the signature came from an ASUS executive.
However, when he opened the box and inspected it, he was surprised to find that the signer was Jen-Hsun Huang himself. He then compared the signature with the ASUS 30th anniversary video and confirmed that it was the graphics card that Huang Renxun personally showed in the video.
The packaging of this graphics card has never been opened before, meaning the card remains in new, unused condition. The buyer himself has never installed it into his computer.
After confirming the rarity of this graphics card, the user decided not to use it for the original 3D project and instead turned it over to the auction house.
According to the page information of Bonhams Auction House, this graphics card will be auctioned online from October 4 to 14, 2026, with an estimated transaction price of between US$10,000 and US$15,000 (approximately RMB 67,100 to 100,650 yuan).
Considering that the current price of the ordinary RTX 5090 has exceeded US$5,000 (approximately RMB 33,550), and some special high-end overclocked versions have sold for close to US$10,000 (approximately RMB 67,100) in some areas, the final transaction price of this world-only version with Huang's signature is likely to far exceed estimates.
This graphics card was specially created by ASUS to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Jen-Hsun Huang personally showed off this graphics card at last year's ASUS 30th anniversary event. It uses a white three-fan design and has Jen-Hsun Huang's signature and his iconic "RTX ON!" on the back panel.
