ASUS ROG XG Mobile eGPU Dock Featuring NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile GPU Set to Debut on February 25

The highly anticipated ASUS ROG XG Mobile graphics dock is set to launch next week, showcasing NVIDIA’s latest mobile GPU, the GeForce RTX 5090, known for its impressive performance.

Launch Announcement: ASUS ROG XG Mobile 2025 Featuring RTX 5090 to Debut at $2199.99

Just last month, ASUS introduced the ROG XG Mobile, the 2025 edition of their external GPU dock. This updated model succeeds the previous generation, which supported up to a GeForce RTX 4090. The new dock will be the first to incorporate a Thunderbolt 5 port, setting a new benchmark for external graphics solutions.

According to recent reports from ITHome, the official release date is scheduled for February 25th, which is just around the corner. This innovative dock will offer an exceptional 80 Gigabits of bandwidth through its Thunderbolt 5 port—double the capacity of Thunderbolt 4—enabling ultra-high-resolution graphics and fast refresh rates.

ASUS claims that the 2025 ROG XG Mobile can effectively handle content creation needs, supporting up to 8K video outputs, in addition to a triple 4K monitor configuration running at 144Hz. The dock also features an array of connectivity options, including:

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports
HDMI 2.1 output
DisplayPort 2.1
SD card reader
5G LAN port for high-speed internet

The RTX 5090 mobile GPU within this dock is supported by a robust 330W power supply. Remarkably, despite its advanced features and design, the device weighs under 1 kilogram. ASUS has implemented an efficient cooling system that utilizes a Vapor Chamber, ensuring the dock operates quietly, with a noise reduction of 3dBA compared to its predecessors. The rear-side vents are strategically designed to enhance airflow, mitigating thermal buildup during intensive use.

While these specifications sound impressive, availability remains a pertinent issue. The desktop variants, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, have been notably scarce, raising questions about the accessibility of the upcoming laptop RTX 50 series. Notably, NVIDIA is preparing to launch the RTX 5070 Ti shortly, which may face similar distribution challenges.

For those interested in acquiring the ROG XG Mobile 2025, the pricing starts at $2199.99, which includes the high-performing 24 GB GeForce RTX 5090 mobile GPU. However, a more budget-friendly option featuring the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU will also be available for $1199.99.
