NVIDIA RTX 5090D: AI and Crypto-Mining Limits Revealed
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090D for China will have restricted AI and crypto-mining performance with new limitations, preventing multi-GPU setups.
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090D, designed for the Chinese market, will come with significant restrictions impacting its AI and crypto-mining performance. These limitations aim to prevent the card from being used in multi-GPU setups commonly used for professional workloads. Restricted Performance for AI and Crypto The RTX 5090D will have a performance cut-off for AI and crypto-related applications. After approximately three seconds of heavy workload, the GPU will automatically reduce its performance, likely through reduced clock speeds or software throttling. Power limits will also be restricted, further impacting performance for professional computing tasks. No Multi-GPU Support Unlike previous models, the GeForce RTX 5090D will not support multi-GPU configurations. This means users will be unable to combine multiple RTX 5090D cards for increased performance, a practice that was previously common for those trying to achieve performance similar to that of AI accelerators. These restrictions…
