A rare ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 White OC has surfaced on the second-hand market, offering collectors a chance to own a unique piece of hardware history. This specific unit stands out because it bears the signature of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on its backplate. Buyers interested in high-end GPU collectibles should note that this is not a standard retail product but a commemorative item with significant rarity.
Rare 30th Anniversary GPU listed on Bonhams for collectors
The graphics card is a 30th Anniversary Commemorative Model featuring a triple-fan design in a white color scheme. It belongs to the ASUS ROG Astral lineup, which targets enthusiasts looking for premium aesthetics and performance. The current owner, a 3D artist, acquired this specific card through the used market after it was originally provided via a contest.
- Edition: 30th Anniversary Commemorative Model
- Signature: Signed by Jensen Huang
- Design: Triple Fan, White Color
- Rarity: One of a kind
This particular unit is believed to be one of the only, if not the only, examples of this signed edition in existence. The card features the distinctive white triple-fan design associated with the Astral series. Its scarcity makes it a notable exception in the current GPU landscape, where standard models are widely available.
The card is currently listed for auction on Bonhams with a sale window running from October 4 to October 14. The estimated price for this unique item ranges from $10,000 to $15,000 USD. This pricing reflects its status as a signed collector's item rather than just a high-performance graphics card.

This auction highlights the continued interest in special edition GPUs from major manufacturers. The sale concludes on October 14, marking the end of this specific opportunity for collectors.
