Hold onto your hats, PC gamers in China, because NVIDIA might be cooking up something special for you! Rumors are swirling about a GeForce RTX 5090D, a China-exclusive graphics card designed to sidestep those pesky U.S. trade restrictions.
Here's the lowdown:
- Release date: Speculated to launch around January 2025, a year after the RTX 4090D debuted.
- Based on: The upcoming RTX 5090, featuring NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture and TSMC's 4NP process.
- Specs: While the standard RTX 5090 is rumored to boast a 448-bit GDDR7 memory interface and a 500W TGP, the RTX 5090D's specifications remain shrouded in mystery.
- Following the RTX 4090D's footsteps: NVIDIA likely took inspiration from the RTX 4090D, the China-specific RTX 4090 variant, which had:
- Fewer CUDA cores (14,592 vs. 16,384)
- A slightly higher base clock speed (2.28GHz vs. 2.23GHz)
- Lower TGP (425W vs. 450W)
