ASUS is doubling down on its love for Vocaloid fans with the launch of the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 O16G Hatsune Miku Special Edition graphics card, unveiled at Bilibili World 2025. This stunning GPU builds on the success of the earlier RTX 5060 Ti Hatsune Miku Edition, which debuted in May 2025 with a white and turquoise design. The new RTX 5080 embraces a vibrant blue-green and pink color scheme, reflecting the iconic aesthetic of Hatsune Miku, the virtual pop star created by Crypton Future Media in 2007. Known for her turquoise twin-tails and 3D hologram performances, Miku has become a global phenomenon, collaborating with brands, games, and artists. ASUS’s latest offering taps into this cultural wave, delivering a high-performance GPU and a full suite of Miku-themed components for fans eager to build a dream PC.
The ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 O16G Hatsune Miku Special Edition is a visual and technical marvel. Its 3.8-slot design features a quad-fan cooling system—three Axial-tech fans on the front and a fourth at the back—paired with a massive heatsink, vapor chamber, milled heatspreader, and phase-change GPU thermal pad. Powerful 50A MOSFETs ensure robust performance, while a reinforced diecast shroud, backplate, and I/O bracket protect the PCB. ASUS enhances durability with GPU Guard and protective PCB coating, and adds flair with Aura Sync RGB lighting that syncs with the Miku-inspired artwork adorning the cover, sides, and back panel. This GPU is designed for gamers and creators who demand top-tier performance wrapped in a bold, fan-focused aesthetic.
Beyond the GPU, ASUS has introduced a comprehensive lineup of Hatsune Miku-themed components to create a cohesive, high-performance PC ecosystem. The ROG RYUO IV 360 ARGB Hatsune Miku Edition cooler offers efficient CPU cooling with customizable lighting to match Miku’s vibrant palette. The ROG Strix XG27ACMEG-G Hatsune Miku Edition monitor, a 27-inch 1440p display, boasts a 260Hz refresh rate, 0.3ms response time, and G-Sync compatibility for immersive gaming. The ROG Strix Helios II Hatsune Miku Edition case provides a stylish mid-tower chassis with ample cooling options, while the ROG Thor 1200W Platinum III Hatsune Miku Edition PSU ensures reliable power with Miku’s signature flair. Together, these components allow fans to build an entire system that celebrates the virtual pop star’s aesthetic.
The ROG Astral RTX 5080 Hatsune Miku Edition carries a premium price tag of 16,999 RMB in China—twice the NVIDIA MSRP for the standard RTX 5080 in the Chinese market. ASUS has not yet confirmed whether this special edition or its accompanying components will be available globally, leading to speculation that they may remain exclusive to Asian markets.
