Gigabyte is using a gold giveaway to make its latest flagship graphics card stand out, but the offer is tightly limited to buyers in Taiwan. Anyone who pre-orders the Aorus GeForce RTX 5090 Infinity during the promotion window can receive 1 gram of pure gold, as long as the stock of gifts has not run out.
The campaign is tied to Gigabyte’s 40th anniversary celebration and is being handled through the official Aorus Taiwan website. It runs from 25 May to 7 June 2026, and buyers must register the product on Gigabyte Taiwan’s official site with proof of invoice from an authorized retailer for the Aorus RTX 5090 Infinity.
Gigabyte describes the reward as a “gold item,” though it has not clarified whether the gift is a commemorative gold coin or gold incorporated into the package or card itself. That ambiguity adds another layer of curiosity to a promotion that already targets a very specific audience: enthusiasts willing to pay premium prices for a top-tier GPU and an exclusive bonus.
The value gap between the bonus and the product itself is also striking. One gram of gold is said to be worth around USD 143.50, while the Aorus RTX 5090 Infinity is priced at NT$ 165,000, or around USD 5,254.
A flagship built around premium hardware
The gold promotion is only part of the appeal. The Aorus RTX 5090 Infinity itself arrives as a high-end model with 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a 512-bit memory interface, placing it firmly in enthusiast territory.
Gigabyte also equips the card with a triple-slot Windforce Hyperburst cooling design. The setup combines three fans, a direct-touch vapor chamber, and superconductor heat pipes to help control temperatures under heavy load.
Its layout is also unusual for a custom graphics card. Instead of the more familiar design used by many aftermarket models, Gigabyte has opted for a square PCB inspired by the Founders Edition style, giving the card a distinct visual identity.
Power delivery follows the same unconventional approach. The card uses a single vertically mounted 16-pin power connector, rather than the dual 16-pin setup seen on many other custom RTX 5090 designs.
Factory overclock and expanding Infinity branding
Performance is another major part of the package. The graphics chip ships with a factory overclock, pushing the boost clock to 2,730 MHz, which is 323 MHz above the 2,407 MHz reference specification.
That means the gold promotion is not the only reason the card is drawing attention. Gigabyte is positioning the RTX 5090 Infinity as both a performance flagship and a premium collector-style product.
The Infinity name may not remain limited to this one model for long. Gigabyte has reportedly registered several other product names with the Eurasian Economic Commission, including RTX 5080 Infinity, RTX 5070 Ti Infinity, RTX 5070 Infinity, and RTX 5060 Infinity.
Those filings suggest that the branding could spread across a broader GeForce RTX 5000 lineup. For now, though, the Taiwan-only gold campaign keeps the RTX 5090 Infinity in the spotlight as an expensive, highly exclusive launch aimed squarely at the premium end of the PC market.
