To monitor the card’s record-setting output in real time or to adjust individual GPU parameters, users can leverage the ASUS GPU Tweak III desktop app. ROG Astral graphics cards also unlock an exclusive feature within GPU Tweak III called Power Detector+. This can detect anomalies across any of the twelve power pins of the 12VHPWR or 12V-2×6 cable that is connected to the card. If a fault is detected, the user is immediately notified that the power cable needs to be reseated. For more information on how this app helps optimize GPU performance, refer to the official GPU Tweak III landing page.
The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition is starting to hit the shelves.
