Several next-gen Asus GPUs from Nvidia and AMD have been listed by hardware data aggregator momomo_us at X. Retailers and distributors are bracing their inventory as we approach CES next month. The leak suggests that Asus may introduce a new "Astral" sub-series of GPUs under its high-end ROG brand. In addition, two retailers, Intcomex and El Changarro, accidentally put up listings for the Asus ROG Astral RTX 5080 ahead of launch.
Asus categorizes its products into three distinct lineups: Prime, TUF, and ROG, ranked from most budget-friendly to most premium. The leaker mentioned three GPUs across Asus' three product families: the RTX 5080 from Nvidia, the RX 9070 XT, and the RX 9070 from AMD. For the uninitiated, the RX 9070 XT is renamed RX 8800 XT since AMD's RDNA 4 family will allegedly be rebranded RX 9000.
