The Asus ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 Dhahab has appeared once again, but this time it's not in the Middle East. Instead, the card is gearing up for a US launch, only it appears to be missing the one huge feature that made the other Dhahab cards unique. Oh, and it costs $900 above MSRP.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 currently sits on our guide to the best graphics card, specifically as the best under $1,000.
