Asus has developed a compact 2.5-slot GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card under its ProArt brand, designed for creators and small-form-factor PC builders. This model intentionally differs from the larger 3.5-4 slot high-end GPUs.  

Key Features of the ProArt RTX 5090: 

Compact form factor: the 2.5-slot design fits in smaller PC cases and supports multi-GPU configurations, which is essential for professionals who require additional PCIe expansion cards.  

Target audience: The card is for creators, AI developers, and workstation users. They need compact RTX 5090 performance and 32GB of GDDR7 memory in a space-efficient form.  

Cooling Design Overview: Asus uses a vapor chamber. A liquid metal thermal compound covers the GPU die. The dual-vented backplate features flow-through zones to manage heat while maintaining a compact design. These features provide about 11% better cooling efficiency than other single-flow-through designs.  

Creator-focused I/O: The card features an integrated USB-C port for professional displays and peripherals. There is also a built-in 2.5mm headphone jack.  

Performance: Powered by the NVIDIA Black Pearl Architecture. The card offers 21,760 CUDA cores and 3,352 AIT OPS. It is suited for tasks such as 3D rendering, video editing, and machine learning.  

This model prioritizes functionality and integration into professional minimalist builds over gaming aesthetics like expansive RGB lighting. Competing RTX 5090 models (TUF Gaming, ROG Astral) and Zotac generally use larger 3.5- or 4-slot designs.  

ProArt GeForce RTX 5090: Exceptional AI Performance and Efficient Cooling in a Compact Design 

The advantage of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is its exceptional AI performance with 32 GB of GDDR7, 21760 CUDA cores, and the latest RTX features. However, many AI developers, professional creators, and small-form-factor GPU enthusiasts require high performance in a compact form factor to meet these needs. We are introducing our most compact version yet, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5090.  

Built With NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Power 

Covered by the NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture and DLSS 4, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 delivers advanced performance for both gaming and content creation as part of the NVIDIA 50 Series. It provides access to the complete suite of NVIDIA RTX technologies. DLSS 4 introduces multi-frame generation, enhanced ray reconstruction, Super Resolution, and NVIDIA Reflex 2 with frame wrap.  

The ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 features 32 GB of GDDR7. This is the largest VRAM capacity currently available in consumer graphics cards. The high-speed memory enables efficient work with large language models, high-res content creation, 4K gaming, and more.  

Potent cooling in a slim design. 

While most PC gamers no longer use multiple graphics cards, creative professionals often require more than one in their systems. In these setups, card thickness is critical as bulky cooling solutions can limit the number of GPUs that can be installed. Creators also frequently use PCI-E X16 slots for add-in cards that enhance system capabilities or connectivity. To address these needs, the ProArt GE Force RTX 5090 features a slim 2.5 slot design, ensuring compatibility with many smaller and popular PC cases.  

We introduce a new cooling design for the ProArt GeForce RTX 5090. It uses liquid metal thermal compound on the GPU die. Liquid metal offers lower temperatures than traditional thermal paste. We apply it using a patented process for safe and effective performance.  

A vapor chamber efficiently transfers heat from the Max Contact heat sink, distributing it to the GPU base plate and into the heat pipes. To boost airflow, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 features a double-vented back plate with flow-through zones at both ends. Two larger 115mm Axial Tech fans, adapted from previous ProArt models, sustain peak cooling.  

With this technology, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5090s’ double-flow-through design delivers approximately 11% greater cooling efficiency and a 27% reduction in size compared to a single-flow-through design. It is also a perfect option for creators seeking high performance in a compact form factor.  

Versatility designed for creators. 

Both creators and gamers use DisplayPort and HDMI. However, content creators often need more connectivity. USB Type-C is preferred for its versatility. It supports portable displays and multiple monitors via daisy chaining.  

Motherboards, such as the ProArt X870e, offer Wi-Fi and USB Type-C connectivity via a DisplayPort port on the rear I/O panel. The ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 features an integrated USB Type-C port, allowing creators to connect devices directly without extra wiring or setup.  

Sophisticated aesthetics for minimalist builds 

Natural wood elements are a trend in chassis designs seen in many PC cases. To achieve a wood-themed look, some components must complement this style.  

The ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 has a laminate trim with a brown wood design on its rounded front edge. This gives an elegant aesthetic that harmonizes with both the interior and exterior of your build. Subtle Aura Sync Lighting ensures the trim remains visible and elegant when the PC is in use.  

Optimize Your Experience With GPU Tweak III 

GPU Tweak 3 provides extensive monitoring and tuning for your GPU. The software provides detailed information about your GPU’s specifications and status, and allows you to easily adjust processor parameters. You can switch performance modes or overclock your GeForce RTX 5090 with a single click, streamlining GPU management.  

We continually improve GPU Tweak 3. The new OSD Wizard makes the on-screen display easy to personalize. It ensures information appears in your preferred format. Switching to OC mode boosts GPU clock speed for smoother previews, faster renders, and a more responsive workflow. You gain extensive control over power limits and fan curve to balance performance, thermals, and acoustics.  

The ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 is distinguished by its exceptional performance and sophisticated design, all encapsulated in a space-efficient form factor, making it perfect for users who desire both power and elegance.  

Featuring a sophisticated design that harmonizes with a natural wood chassis, the ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 is engineered for advanced AI content creation and gaming performance. Differing from Founder’s design, its USB Type-C port adds versatility, making it well-suited for minimalist builds that require high performance. The card supports multi-GPU and SPF-ready configurations, and its cutting-edge cooling enables top-tier GPU performance in a slim profile.
