GeForce RTX 5090: Matrix BIOS pushes power limit to 800 watts
 |
| GeForce RTX 5090 Matrix BIOS |
The BIOS of the Asus ROG Matrix Platinum Geforce RTX 5090, designed for a maximum power limit of 800 watts, can also be applied to other custom designs using NVFlash, giving them more leeway when overclocking.
The Asus ROG Matrix Platinum Geforce RTX 5090, which the Taiwanese manufacturer has launched as a "30th Anniversary Limited Edition", is at the top of the food chain as a limited graphics card and will also start retailing in this country at the beginning of December 2025 for an RRP of 3,999 euros. The spearhead of the entire Blackwell generation is characterized, among other things, by a special BIOS, which attracts attention with a power limit raised to 800 watts. The OC BIOS can be upgraded to alternative custom designs using the NVFlash tool developed by TechPowerUp.
Overview of the ASUS ROG Matrix RTX 5090 Power
While the corresponding BIOS itself is provided for download by TechPowerUp, Uniko's hardware, Wccftech and Overclocker.net now we have reported about several custom designs that can be let off the leash in this way. The Gigabyte Aorus Geforce RTX 5090 Master and the Gigabyte Aorus Geforce RTX 5090 Xtreme Waterforce WB are therefore just as much a part of it as the MSI Geforce RTX 5090 Ventus 3X OC.

While Asus certifies that the ROG Matrix Platinum Geforce RTX 5090 has a boost clock up to 323 MHz higher, the first testers report that other custom designs achieve a maximum clock frequency 100 to 200 MHz higher with the OC BIOS. However, flashing the BIOS should in any case be reserved for experienced users and absolute enthusiasts, since the risk is disproportionate to the performance gain. Asus rates this with "up to 10 percent".
