ASUS has just announced a new series of graphics cards under its creator-focused ProArt brand. The ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards are designed to be a perfect blend of high-end performance, unique aesthetics, and creator-centric features. This new lineup is a clear signal from ASUS that it is committed to providing creators with the tools they need to push the boundaries of their work, whether it’s for 3D rendering, video editing, or AI-intensive tasks.
Performance for the AI Era
At the core of the ProArt GeForce RTX 50 Series is the new NVIDIA RTX 50 Series GPU, which is powered by the Blackwell architecture. This new architecture brings next-level performance to the table for gaming and content creation alike. The key to this performance is a suite of NVIDIA RTX 50 technologies, including DLSS 4 upscaling, which uses AI to boost frame rates and improve image quality. A key benefit of the cards is their sizable 16GB pool of GDDR7 VRAM, which provides sufficient capacity to handle nearly any AI-intensive task or game at high resolutions with maxed-out graphics settings. With the ability to deliver up to 1858 AI TOPS, these cards are designed to handle AI-intensive workloads with ease.
Design and Functionality for Creators
The ProArt GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards are designed to stand out. They feature a unique wood-patterned laminate trim on their rounded front edges, offering a complementary aesthetic for wood-themed PC builds. Aura Sync lighting is also included, with an indirect, minimal glow that ensures the unique look isn’t lost in shadow. Beyond aesthetics, the cards are designed for functionality. They feature a slimmed-down 2.5-slot design, which allows them to fit into many smaller PC cases, offering broad compatibility with today’s most popular chassis. This narrower design is also beneficial for creators who are more likely to populate their PCIe slots with other add-in cards that boost their system’s capabilities or connectivity. The cards also include an integrated DisplayPort over USB Type-C port, which makes it easy to hook up a portable display or even several displays via daisy-chaining without any additional wiring or setup.
Advanced Cooling and Software
Even with their slim profile, these cards are equipped with potent cooling. They feature an ASUS-exclusive MaxContact design with vapour chamber cooling for efficient heat transfer from both the GPU and VRAM. A premium phase-change thermal pad has been swapped out for traditional thermal paste, which not only optimises heat transfer but also the longevity of the thermal interface material. Additionally, a trio of Axial-tech fans keep a steady stream of cooling air moving through the heatsink while minimising distracting fan noise. To help creators get the most out of their cards, ASUS has included its GPU Tweak III software, which enables easy tuning and monitoring of performance. The new cards also support MuseTree, an AI-powered image-generation app designed to spark creativity, allowing users to effortlessly create and manage images and visual ideas.
Pricing & Availability
The availability of the ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 & 5070 Ti in Malaysia will be announced at a later date.
