A tech blogger, hongxing2020, recently revealed on platform X that NVIDIA is preparing the next-generation RTX 5090D graphics card for the Chinese market, which is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2025. Last December, the California-based chip giant introduced a special edition GeForce RTX 4090D graphics card for the Chinese market to comply with U.S. export regulations. The RTX 4090D offers 11% fewer cores and 10% lower overall performance compared to the original version 4090, as the company must comply with U.S. export control requirements, which mandate that GPUs exported to China have a total processing power below 4,800 points. Based on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, the next-generation RTX 5090 graphics card will bring performance improvements, but the modified edition RTX 5090D for the Chinese market is expected to have reduced performance with minimal gains over the RTX 4090D.
