Many expected the RTX 5090D to be a cut-down version of the 5090, but it seems that Nvidia may adopt a similar approach to the RTX 30-series.

Chinese gamers are expected to have limited access to Nvidia ’s best graphics card due to strict export restrictions. However, Nvidia may have found a way around it without cutting down its flagship GPU . A new leak suggests that the RTX 5090 D will have the same hardware specifications as the worldwide version, and the solution lies in firmware adjustments.

Recommended Videos Initially, Nvidia adopted a simple approach and started selling the RTX 4090D as a cut-down RTX 4090, with fewer CUDA cores and a lower power consumption. As VideoCardz notes, they were also not supposed to be overclocked . However, it’s easy to imagine that this wouldn’t have worked with the RTX 5090, which is said to be significantly more powerful than its predecessor.

According to panzerlied, a leaker from the Chiphell forums, the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5090D will be one and the same in terms of specifications. Both will use the GB202 GPU without any hardware adjustments, but Nvidia will limit the AI performance of these GPUs in order to meet the regulations.
