CES is jam-packed with announcements, and Asus has brought the thunder with a refresh of nearly everything under its gaming brands. That includes a world first, with an update to its ROG XG Mobile external graphics card. It’s received a major bump in specs, now coming with an mobile Nvidia RTX 5090.

The XG Mobile line has been around since 2021 and provides a means of equipping your laptop or PC gaming handheld, such as the ROG Ally, with a powerful GPU, without the need to fit the GPU inside your device. Instead, it uses a cable to connect to your device and provide its GPU processing power externally.
