Modern graphics processing units continue to expand in size, featuring expansive enclosures and cooling systems to support increasingly potent processors. Among consumer options, the Asus ROG Matrix RTX 5090 Anniversary Edition stands out as particularly voluminous, often requiring a sophisticated mounting solution. A recent enhancement to Asus's utility software now incorporates a function called Level Sense for monitoring card alignment.
The release notes for the GPU Tweak application indicate that Level Sense now supports the ROG Matrix Platinum 5090 30th Anniversary Edition, an impressively large graphics card previously discussed in reports. As reported by VideoCardz, this capability is not new to Asus products; it first appeared earlier in 2025 on the high-end Astral lineup, though under the more subdued label of Equipment Installation Check.
These Astral models, along with the updated Matrix variant, employ a sensor chip developed by Bosch Sensortec to measure the card's perpendicular orientation. Far more precise than a simple spirit level, the device can identify deviations as slight as 0.1 degrees and issue warnings if the alignment strays. The purpose is to ensure the graphics card mounts at a precise 90-degree angle to the motherboard and chassis.
The ROG Astral lineup and the Matrix Anniversary Edition both ship with dedicated support brackets for the GPU, a standard inclusion growing in prevalence. Additional items in the package include a BTF Adapter compatible with premium Asus motherboards, a replacement keycap for mechanical keyboards, a magnet, a deck of playing cards, a measuring ruler, and a note of appreciation from the company. Given the expected price exceeding $3,000 USD, such extras seem fitting for this premium product.
