### Dubai Retailer Lists ROG Astral RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Dhahab Editions On Sale
Dubai-based retailer Microless has started selling the ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab edition for $9,250. This price is after a 20% discount but still significantly higher than the official MSRP.
#### The Most Expensive GPU to Buy
The ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 Dhahab OC edition was exclusively launched in the Middle East. However, it appears that Microless is willing to ship it worldwide. This GPU features a shroud with a skyline silhouette, Arabic calligraphy, and 6.5g of gold plating, adding an extra $700.
#### Performance Expectations
The RTX 5090 Dhahab OC has boost clocks of 2580 MHz (up to 2610 MHz in OC mode), matching the ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC edition. Therefore, performance-wise, it is not expected to be noticeably faster than other editions.
#### RTX 5080 Dhahab
The RTX 5080 Dhahab CORE OC also comes with a boost clock of 2760 MHz (up to 2790 MHz in OC mode), and features the same 6.5g of gold plating as its counterpart, but at a slightly lower price point.
#### Pricing Comparison
While the RTX 5080 Dhahab is available for $2,589, it still costs more than the MSRP of the RTX 5090. This suggests that users who prefer flagship performance and premium design might opt for the RTX 5090 Dhahab edition.
### Summary
These gold-plated editions are primarily showpieces for those with no budget constraints, as they come at a premium price.
