Asus Breaks Tradition with Compact RTX 5090 ProArt Debut Amid Cooling Innovations

Asus has decided to release the GeForce RTX 5090 ProArt graphics card exclusively in the reference model Founders Edition format. As can be seen, this is a very compact card, especially for an RTX 5090. Previously, Asus did not have RTX 5090 models in the ProArt lineup. However, the lower models of this line are much larger and equipped with a triple-fan cooling system.

Meanwhile, the new card also differs from Nvidia’s reference model. The cooler here is noticeably higher, and the fans seem slightly larger. However, the thickness appears to fit within 2.5 slots, like all other ProArt models.

Specifications for this model are not yet available, and it has not appeared on their website. However, Asus recently announced an event that coincides with CES 2026, where more details about the RTX 5090 are expected to be unveiled. The event will highlight new technological advancements in cooling systems and power efficiency.

As for market trends, the GPU market has seen a decline in demand due to a slump in cryptocurrency mining. However, the gaming industry continues to drive demand for high-performance GPUs. If the RTX 5090 is priced competitively, it could attract considerable interest from gamers seeking cutting-edge performance.
