The upcoming GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs are set to be unveiled next year. Recently, a leak has shown the logo for the premium GeForce RTX 5090D graphics card. This particular GPU is anticipated to be exclusive to China, similar to the RTX 4090D that was released last year.
GPU Launch Context
Due to export restrictions imposed by the U.S., Nvidia is required to offer a less powerful version of its top-tier GPUs. Consequently, the RTX 4090D was made available in China with a reduced core count and a lower thermal design power (TDP) in comparison to the standard RTX 4090 (which can be found on Amazon). In addition, the Chinese-only model was also not capable of being overclocked.
New Logo Leak
A recent leak from MEGAsizeGPU has disclosed the logo for the GeForce RTX 5090D. At this time, no official information has been released about the GPU. However, similar to the RTX 4090D, it’s likely that this next-generation card will also feature a smaller core count and a lower TDP than the standard RTX 5090.
Expected Specifications
Aside from these distinctions, the remaining specifications of the GPU could be alike. Both the standard and Chinese versions are expected to utilize TSMC's 4NP manufacturing process. These graphics cards are predicted to be built on the Blackwell architecture, with the standard version possibly including 448-bit GDDR7 video memory and consuming as much as 500W of power.
The naming of the RTX 5090D is linked to the Dragon, a significant figure in the Chinese zodiac. This implies that the card could be released before the Lunar New Year on January 28th, symbolizing the shift from the Year of the Dragon to the Year of the Snake.
