NVIDIA released the GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 graphics card in mainland China today with reduced memory specifications. The company designed this variant to comply with United States export regulations that restrict memory bandwidth above 1.4 gigabytes per second. The new card features 24 gigabytes of GDDR7 memory across a 384-bit bus instead of the original 32 gigabytes across a 512-bit configuration. Memory bandwidth drops from 1792 gigabytes per second to 1344 gigabytes per second while maintaining identical core specifications. Chinese retailers list the card at 16,499 yuan, equivalent to approximately 2,295 dollars.

Hong Kong retailers offer the graphics processor for roughly 200 dollars less than mainland China pricing. The reduced cost makes this variant between 700 and 1400 dollars cheaper than the standard RTX 5090 in Hong Kong markets. Gaming performance remains comparable to higher-tier models according to recent evaluations. However, productivity and artificial intelligence applications show measurable performance decreases due to the memory limitations. The card maintains 575 watts of power consumption and supports fourth-generation ray tracing technology.
