In this detailed review of the Asus ROG Astral RTX 580 graphics card, the host, Steve, dives into the card’s design, performance, and pricing, offering both technical insights and personal opinions. The ROG Astral is presented as a visually impressive and robust card, primarily constructed from metal, which enhances its durability but also contributes to its significant weight of 2,861 grams. With dimensions that make it one of the largest RTX 580 models, the card introduces a unique fan configuration aimed at optimizing airflow. However, the review highlights that despite its aesthetic appeal and solid build quality, the card underwhelms in terms of cooling performance compared to its competitors. The review concludes with a discussion of the card’s exorbitant price of $1,500, which raises concerns about its market viability given the context of the current GPU market. Overall, while the ROG Astral has the potential to be a standout product, its performance shortcomings and steep price tag render it less appealing to consumers
