NVIDIA plans to release a new graphics card for China during August. The company will call the product RTX 5090DD and design it specifically for Chinese customers. US export rules have forced NVIDIA to create multiple versions of its cards for the Chinese market. The new model replaces the banned RTX 5090D graphics card that China previously received.
The RTX 5090DD contains the same number of processing cores as other RTX 5090 models. NVIDIA reduced the memory from 32 gigabytes to 24 gigabytes to meet government restrictions. The card uses a different chip called GB202-240 instead of the standard version. Engineers also created a new circuit board design to handle the memory changes.
Performance will be noticeably slower than the regular RTX 5090 sold outside China. The memory cuts will likely reduce speed by double-digit percentages compared to unrestricted models. NVIDIA may price the card between $1200 and $1500 to attract Chinese buyers. The company wants strong sales despite the reduced capabilities.
Benchlife reports the August launch date remains tentative and could change. NVIDIA must clear existing RTX 5090D inventory before introducing the newer model. The company continues adapting its products to meet various international trade requirements.
NVIDIA has not announced pricing details or confirmed the August timeline. Chinese customers will receive significantly less powerful graphics cards than other global markets. The company also develops restricted artificial intelligence chips with different memory types for China.
