Gigabyte has announced a limited-time promotion for its new flagship GeForce graphics card when purchased in Taiwan. Owners of the 40th anniversary Aorus RTX 5090 Infinity can claim 1g of 999 pure gold, worth £108 at current rates.
From May 25, 2026, to June 7, 2026, purchasing a Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 5090 Infinity Anniversary Edition graphics card allows you to register to receive the swag worth up to £155 in coin or bar form, depending upon region. The reward is available in limited quantity, while supplies last. Registration closes on June 10 at 23:59 Taiwan time.
To participate, you must apply after registering the card on Gigabyte’s warranty website. The form must include the product serial number, a clear photo of the invoice, and the applicant’s personal information.
A bit too much, if you ask me, considering the card costs about £3,900. For reference, this is about £1,000 more than the already nice Aorus RTX 5090 Master. Don’t get me wrong, the card looks amazing, and I would love to have one, but my decision wouldn’t be influenced by £108 or even £155 worth of gold. I would even argue that this item’s value, which equates to about 4% of the card’s price, would have been better offered as a straight-up discount.
The Aorus RTX 5090 Infinity is Gigabyte’s new flagship model, celebrating the brand’s 40th anniversary. Like regular RTX 5090s, the Aorus Infinity features Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, 21,760 CUDA cores, and 32GB of 28Gb/s GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus. The main difference is in boost frequency, which reaches 2,730MHz on the Infinity compared to 2,407MHz on Nvidia’s reference design.
The card also comes equipped with Gigabyte’s Windforce Hyperburst cooling system, which combines a double-flow-through design with Hawk fans, composite metal grease, and so-called superconducting heat pipes. The card’s style is also unique, with circular fan housings that, funnily enough, remind me of a shower head. This refreshing design is complemented by the brand’s beautiful RGB halo lights around the fan-blade perimeter.
With its 3.5-slot footprint, the Windforce Hyperburst cooler is no slouch, capable of keeping heat under control despite the higher clock speed. According to some test results shared by @unikoshardware on X, the card remained at around 77°C GPU and 72°C memory after a 30-minute FurMark test.
If, like me, you appreciate this design yet can’t afford putting a used car’s worth on a gaming GPU, Gigabyte seems to be preparing more Infinity models powered by lower-end RTX 50 GPUs. Though not a guarantee, this EEC listing indicates that the company is at least interested in such products. Understandably, the price will likely be higher than regular models, but in current market conditions, MSRP cards are a rare thing indeed.
