Asus goes to launch a restricted version RTX 3090 24GB GPU impressed by essentially the most complicated and miserable anime ever, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Simply how restricted, you ask? Nicely, Taiwanese retailer, CoolPC (thanks @momomo_us) has opened pre-orders on the cardboard and can solely be promoting 15 of those GPUs.
The Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 O24G Evangelion Version prices TWD $63,990 or $2,185 USD which is just barely costlier than Asus ROG’s non-anime themed RTX 3090s. Every order comes with a ROG Herculx GPU holder for the reason that RTX 3090 is a moderately chunky piece of {hardware} and a few PCs want the assist.
The aggressive purple and inexperienced shade scheme are primarily based on EVA-Unit 1, the large mech that sequence protagonist and essentially the most annoying boy on this planet, Shinji Ikari, pilots. Although, I am hoping while you take away the quilt you will not discover any tooth or bizarre purple goo. One facet showcases the EVA-01’s bust whereas the followers every have a emblem for NERV HQ, Unit-1, and ROG.
The product itemizing (translated from Chinese language) would not make any point out of lighting however the GPU that is primarily based on has LED lights on the highest of the unit that may be custom-made by way of ROG’s Armoury Crate software program. The product pictures present a refined purple glow which I can solely assume are the lights in motion and never the GPU awakening to kill Angels.
The one little contact I feel EVA followers are going to love is that the highest of the GPU has a protracted synchronization bar with the ROG emblem within the center displaying a 100% sync price.
Within the context of the anime, a 100% sync price means the pilot and their EVA are fully in tune with one another, permitting for optimum ass-kickery. Which is the vibe you need when putting in a graphics card.
CoolPC plans to close down preorders in 4 days or as soon as the orders are stuffed, in order I write this there’s nonetheless a while to pre-order. There is no phrase from Asus on a promotion like this coming to North America.
If you’re all-in on all issues EVA, CoolPC is operating an identical promo for an Evangelion-themed MSI desktop PC (minus a CPU/GPU) that even comes together with your selection of a purple Unit 1 umbrella or fanny pack for somewhat over $600 USD.
