Nvidia is adding a new model to its graphics card series developed for the Chinese market. Announced as the RTX 5090D V2, the card goes on sale on August 12th. The new model is designed to comply with US export restrictions to China. Following the RTX 4090D and the subsequent RTX 5090D, the RTX 5090D V2 is the third member of this series.

The GeForce RTX 5090D V2 is coming

The card’s hardware details feature some notable changes compared to previous models. The RTX 5090D V2 uses a GB202-240 GPU with 21,760 CUDA cores. This architecture represents a change from the GB202-250 GPU found in the previous model.

The new graphics processor is built on a different printed circuit board (PCB), designated PG145 SKU 40. The card comes with 24GB of GDDR7 memory and a 384-bit memory bus. This represents a 25% reduction in VRAM compared to the previous RTX 5090D model.

This reduction in memory won’t directly impact gaming performance. However, in scenarios where VRAM is limited, the difference will be more noticeable. The card’s TGP (total graphics power) remains at 575W.

Nvidia has, however, allowed its manufacturing partners to produce factory overclocked (OC) models up to 600W. Therefore, some card variants will be able to run at higher clock speeds compared to the reference model.

The price of the RTX 5090D V2 has not yet been officially announced. However, if it were to be priced similarly to the current RTX 5090D, the fact that the card with 24GB of VRAM is priced similarly to the 32GB model could be a negative for Chinese users. Therefore, Nvidia is expected to make a price adjustment for the new model.

The company isn’t just limiting itself to the RTX 5090D V2. Its China-specific product line is expanding further. The RTX Pro series is being updated, and sales of the H20 accelerator, used in AI and data center solutions, have resumed. Work is also underway on a new B40 model based on the Blackwell architecture.
