Overview
- Noctua told KitGuru it would love to make an RTX 5090 with Asus but cannot obtain enough GB202 GPUs to proceed.
- ASUS’s GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC appeared on JD.com at 16,599 yuan (about $2,313), roughly double the 5080’s China MSRP.
- The custom card uses Noctua NF-A12 fans and a quad-slot heatsink, and ASUS bills it as its quietest RTX 5080.
- Factory overclocking is limited to about a 100 MHz higher boost clock, making the premium largely about cooling and build quality.
- Standard RTX 5080 cards often list for $1,200–$1,500 in many regions, with the Noctua edition reported at over €1,600 in the EU.
