Nvidia has launched a new graphics card exclusively intended for the Chinese market. The GeForce RTX 4090D is a new model based on a trimmed AD102 chip.
In mid-November 2023, a new law comes into effect that means Nvidia can no longer sell certain professional GPU solutions in China. Additionally, sales of the GeForce RTX 4090 were also discontinued Trade restrictions As a set response, the manufacturer has now introduced a new model for the Chinese market that will follow in the footsteps of the top model.
RTX 4090 “Dragon”
die Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090D (D = “Dragon”) Different from the normal RTX 4090 in some respects. The new model also uses the AD102 chip, but is slightly shrunk. About nine percent fewer shaders are clearly used, which means that the RTX 4090D is just finished 14,592 ALU There are also 456 tensor cores and 114 RT cores. Memory bandwidth remains untouched, with 24 GB of video memory still connected at 1,008 GB/s.
Nvidia provides TDP 425 watts So that the power loss is about 25 watts less. The base clock has been increased slightly again and is now 2,280 MHz. The turbo clock remains unchanged at 2,520 MHz. It’s exciting to see how gaming performance will eventually differ. The new D version will probably run slower. This is also supported by the weaker scaling of the RTX 4090 compared to the RTX 4080. About 70 percent more shaders achieve only 33 percent better performance in games. The price of the RTX 4090D should remain unchanged compared to the RTX 4090.
