NVIDIA Rumored to Launch RTX 5090 and China-Specific RTX 5090D with Identical Specs

Leaks suggest NVIDIA's upcoming GPUs will feature the same hardware but use firmware adjustments to comply with export restrictions.

The RTX 5090 and RTX 5090D are expected to share identical GPU configurations, including 21760 CUDA cores and 32GB of GDDR7 memory.
The RTX 5090D is reportedly designed to bypass U.S. export restrictions by limiting AI performance through firmware adjustments.
Unlike the previous RTX 4090D, which had reduced hardware capabilities, the RTX 5090D will retain the same core specifications as the global version.
Both GPUs are rumored to launch in January 2025, with pricing expected to be nearly identical for the two versions.
The RTX 5090D is intended for the Chinese market but may also be available in other restricted regions under similar trade frameworks.
