Auctioning Jensen Huang-signed RTX 5090 for wildfire relief
A unique golden Asus RTX 5090 graphics card will be auctioned to help victims of the California wildfires. The card, signed by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, was showcased at the GTC 2025 event. Asus confirmed the auction will support relief efforts in Los Angeles. The wildfires earlier this year were devastating, claiming the lives of 29 people and destroying thousands of homes. The total damages are estimated to be between $95 and $164 billion. The auctioning of this rare GPU aims to contribute to the recovery efforts. Scalpers have been trying to resell RTX 5090 cards at inflated prices, with listings reaching up to $7,000. This signed card could attract significant bids due to its rarity and Huang’s signature. The Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090 is already priced at $3,360, but the signed version may go for an even higher amount. The standard model is impressive on its own, described as a "celebration of the rapid evolution of the Middle East." As the auction date is not yet known, many fans are eager to see how much the signed card will fetch. Overall, this initiative highlights a charitable cause while showcasing a luxurious piece of gaming hardware.
