In response to the prohibition of the GeForce RTX 5090D in China, Nvidia is preparing to launch a new, embargo-compliant version. A leak from the Asian market reveals this upcoming model, designated as the GeForce RTX 5090DD, nicknamed “Double-D”. This variant will offer a scaled-back performance compared to its predecessor, the RTX 5090D.
Reliable sources indicate that the RTX 5090DD will be powered by a GB202-240 GPU and feature 24GB of GDDR7 384-bit memory. The card will employ the PG145 card design and will be distributed under SKU 40. Notably, this design has been utilized in prior RTX 5090D and RTX 4090D models.
It’s important to note that the PG145 designation usually suggests exclusive designs for manufacturer partners. As a result, the RTX 5090DD will be marketed exclusively through Chinese manufacturers such as Colorful and Palit.
According to industry insiders Kopite7kimi and MEGAsizeGPU, the RTX 5090DD’s specifications include:
While Nvidia has yet to officially confirm the release, the RTX 5090DD clearly represents a performance-reduced version of the RTX 5090D. Previously, the 5090D was equipped with 32GB of GDDR7 memory, suggesting that the new model’s 24GB is a deliberate reduction, particularly for AI computations.
The naming strategy for the RTX 5090DD might face criticism, as the performance does not align with the flagship RTX 5090. The initial RTX 5090D model delivered comparable performance to the RTX 5090. This move could allow Nvidia to comply with embargo regulations and regain its foothold in the Chinese market.
In parallel, AMD’s RX 9070 GRE and Huawei’s Ascend 920 accelerators are anticipated to intensify market competition.
The following table highlights the differences between the RTX 5090DD and its counterparts:
| Model | GPU | CUDA Core | Memory | TGP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 5090DD | GB202-240 | 21,760 | 24GB GDDR7 384-bit | 575W |
| RTX 5090D | GB202-250 | 21,760 | 32GB GDDR7 512-bit | 575W |
| RTX 5090D | GB202-450 | 24,576 | 32GB GDDR7 512-bit | 600W |
