Nvidia has discreetly introduced the GeForce RTX 5090D V2 to compete against the best graphics cards in China. The latest Blackwell-based gaming graphics card is a downgrade of the original GeForce RTX 5090D, featuring a 25% reduction in memory capacity and bandwidth to comply with the U.S. export restrictions to China.
The difference between the GeForce RTX 5090 and the GeForce RTX 5090D was relatively marginal. Both graphics cards possess identical specifications; however, Nvidia imposed a minor restriction on the AI performance of the GeForce RTX 5090D, which allowed for its export to China at the time.
The GeForce RTX 5090’s 680 fifth-generation Tensor Cores provide up to 3,352 AI TOPS of performance, whereas the GeForce RTX 5090D offers only 2,375 AI TOPS, representing a 29% reduction compared to its vanilla counterpart.

The latest GeForce RTX 5090D V2 has undergone a more radical transformation. Nvidia has made substantial changes to the graphics card’s memory subsystem, reducing both capacity and bandwidth. The GeForce RTX 5090D V2 still employs GDDR7 memory chips operating at 28 Gbps, but has fewer of them, as Nvidia has seemingly disabled some memory channels.
