NVIDIA Launches RTX 5090 D V2 in China With Trimmed VRAM and Bandwidth

Using 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus to meet U.S. export controls, it preserves core clocks at an unchanged 16,499 Yuan price.

Overview

  • Sales in mainland China launched on August 12 with HWiNFO v8.30 support enabling users to detect the new RTX 5090 D V2 variant.
  • The card drops VRAM from 32 GB to 24 GB and narrows the memory bus to 384-bit, reducing bandwidth to about 1,344 GB/s to satisfy U.S. export restrictions.
  • Expreview benchmarks record gaming performance within 1–2% of the previous RTX 5090 D; AI and professional workloads see slowdowns up to 25%.
  • Core counts, clock speeds and a 575 W TDP mirror full-spec models, and no Founders Edition leaves board partners to set custom clocked variants.
  • The unchanged 16,499 Yuan MSRP in China stands against sub-MSRP Hong Kong listings, opening cross-border arbitrage opportunities.
