NVIDIA is reportedly preparing to launch a special edition GeForce RTX 5090D, specifically for the Chinese market. If true, then the card would be the direct successor to the RTX 4090D the GPU brand created last year in order to circumvent US restrictions.
Little is known about the alleged 5090D but if one thing is clear, it is very obviously going to be a watered-down version of the full-fat RTX 5090, which is expected to launch later this year. According to X user, hongxing2020, the China-specific GPU will be out and about by January next year but again, nothing has been set in stone.

If one were to speculate, the RTX 5090D should have nearly identical specifications as the 5090. That would mean the same amount of graphic memory, same memory bandwidth, and same memory bus, and very likely some tweaks to the BIOS to limit the amount of Compute performance for AI, which is and still is the current US administration’s main sticking point, and why its restrictions against China are in place.
