Footage of an RTX 5090D has been making the rounds on the Chinese video platform Bilibili, showing a two-slot design and a rear-mounted power connector. Popular hardware leaker Uniko’s Hardware shared the post on X (formerly Twitter), with the video creator comparing it to a blower-style RTX 4090D from Asus.
The video shared by Su-A computer on Bilibili also showed the card’s GPU-Z reading, proving that it uses the same GB202 chip with 32 GB of GDDR7 VRAM. It’s also equipped with PCIe 5.0 x16, ensuring the fastest possible transfer rates.
Blower-style GPUs are often preferred in cases with limited internal space and for professional systems that use multiple graphics cards. These often have a single centrifugal fan that intakes cool air from inside the case and pushes it through the entire length of the GPU before expelling the hot air directly outside. This ensures that the heat generated by the GPU will not be recycled into the system, helping it run at a lower temperature.

However, these graphics cards are unlikely to be used for gaming, as they’re typically noisier and less efficient at dissipating heat because their circuit boards are enclosed. Instead, they’re more likely designed for professional applications that use multiple GPUs, like AI training.
