As for the next generation of graphics cards, NVIDIA is currently working on an RTX 5090 D. For some time now, the American government has had the Chinese on the hook. To prevent the country’s development with American technologies, it is forbidden to export any component exceeding a certain power. The Chameleon is therefore forced to adapt its future RTX 5090 to this market, that of sanctioned countries.
An RTX 5090 D in preparation for January, in compliance with US sanctions!
As a reminder, the RTX 4090 D saw the light of day at the beginning of the year, and was, to put it crudely, a slimmed-down version of the original RTX 4090. Indeed, the card lost around 11% of its cuda core, saw its frequency slightly increased from 2230 GHz to 2280 MHz, but its TGP decreased: 425W versus 450W. However, there was no change to the card’s memory configuration: 24 GB GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus (1.01 TB/s bandwidth).
With this new card, we should be following an equivalent path, with a limited number of cuda cores. The aim is to comply with a certain power limit set by the US government. However, the exact configuration of the card remains to be seen. For the moment, rumors indicate that the 5090 will feature a GB202 GPU, with the full version boasting 192 SM. As for memory, we’re talking about GDDR7 with a 448-bit bus and a TDP of 500W.
Finally, via @hongxing2020 on X, this model is due to land in January 2025.
