What Is Level Sense?
The flagship ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card of Asus has a nifty tracking feature named Level Sense. The tool monitors so that the card is tilted, and is included in the Asus GPU Tweak III software. When the GPU is sagging more than a certain threshold (which is defaulted to 0.1 degrees) then a pop-up warning is shown suggesting the user should add support.
How It Works
Specific sensor is not mentioned, although it appears to be a small accelerometer built in on the card. When the GPU is in the correct position, users first set a level baseline. They then have an opportunity to change the sag threshold by 0.1-degree steps. The system operates with normal monitors on temperature, voltage, clocks and fan speed.
Why It Matters
The massive size and weight of high-end GPUs such as the RTX 5090 are attributable to the air-cooled designs. The card may sag with time without supported PCIe slots or additional support, which puts pressure on the slot and may end up damaged. So far, owners used LEGO bricks, figurines or even homemade brackets. Level Sense does not prevent sag, but it notifies about the issue at the early stage.
Not Entirely New
VideoCardz observes the feature introduced/launched quietly in the ROG Astral line earlier this year as part of an “Equipment Installation Check” on boot. It has now acquired a formal name and a permanent home in the top-tier of Asus cards.
The Card Itself
ROG Matrix RTX 5090 is the 30 th anniversary of Asus liquid cooling, extreme headroom overclocking, and conjectured a price of up to $4,700. The availability should be possible in November 2025.
