The GeForce RTX 5090 D and GeForce RTX 5080 D, two GeForce RTX 50 Series “Blackwell” GPUs aimed at the Chinese market, are both releasing as early as this month, according to new reports out of China. The GeForce RTX 4090 D, which NVIDIA launched in December 2023 for ï¿¥12,999, features a couple of differences versus the GeForce RTX 4090 to meet export regulations, such as a lower SM count (i.e., 114 vs. 128).
From a report, which also questions some of the recent TDP/TGP rumors (machine translated):
- “If there are no surprises, the Blackwell GPU architecture GeForce RTX 5090/D and GeForce RTX 5080/D are scheduled to be officially launched in September.”
- “…our news mentioned that the TGP (Total Graphics Power) of the GeForce RTX 5090 may be 550W, but the latest news from Kopite7kimi mentioned that the GeForce RTX 5090 may reach the upper limit of 600W. In addition to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Kopite7kimi also confirmed that GeForce RTX 5080 will reach 400W.”
- “The news is indeed a bit confusing, because we are told by the module factory that there was indeed a 400W NVIDIA cooling module case earlier, but it is currently in the cancellation or suspension stage; as for the 600W cooling module case, from the beginning to Now, it has not stopped, and the module manufacturer has also confirmed that NVIDIA currently has 5 GeForce RTX graphics card cases in progress.”
- “Perhaps, 400W and 600W are the maximum heat dissipation capabilities of the radiator. In fact, the TGP of GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 are 550W and 350W respectively.”
