NVIDIA has officially confirmed the launch of the GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, set for August 12, 2025, but it will initially be available exclusively in China. This new graphics card is set to replace the previous RTX 5090 D, aligning with US export regulations.
This marks the third gaming GPU NVIDIA has designed specifically for the Chinese market, following the RTX 4090 D and RTX 5090 D.
The GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 will come equipped with 21,760 CUDA cores and 24GB of GDDR7 memory across a 384-bit interface. This is a notable 25% reduction in VRAM compared to the RTX 5090 D, which offered 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Although the memory capacity has been cut, the GPU is still expected to perform similarly to its predecessor, provided that the reduced VRAM doesn’t limit gaming performance.
The TDP of the RTX 5090 D V2 remains at 575W, but with an option for partners to factory overclock it up to 600W, offering a slight performance boost. It’s still unclear what the final pricing will be, but the reduced VRAM suggests that NVIDIA might adjust the price to make it more appealing to Chinese gamers.
Additionally, NVIDIA is preparing a fully compliant RTX PRO GPU for China and plans to restart sales of the H20 model. Reports also hint at a B40 “Blackwell” variant, further expanding the company’s offerings in China.
