NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 D v2: China-ready GPU should launch in August with 24GB GDDR7

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 is reportedly the name of its new China-specific GPU, according to a new post on X by leaker "MEGAsizeGPU".

In another post, HKEPC reports that NVIDIA is preparing its new GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 for an August launch, something we heard about in previous reports. This means that gamers in China will only have another month before they can secure themselves the new (tweaked) flagship GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 graphics card.

Inside, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 has the same GPU core count as the RTX 5090D with 21760 CUDA cores and the tweaked GB202-240-K-A1 GPU. The VRAM has been scaled down to 24GB (down from 32GB on the RTX 5090) on a 384-bit memory bus clocked at 28Gbps and the same 575W TDP but leaks tease "and there's a surprise".

NVIDIA launched its cut-down GeForce RTX 5090 back in January 2025, tweaked to meet US export controls, its AI TOPS power was sliced down, but the GPU retained its same GB202 GPU with 21760 CUDA cores and 32GB of GDDR7 memory. This new RTX 5090 D v2 has the VRAM cut down from 32GB to 24GB, a big difference, but retains all of its gaming power.

The original RTX 5090D featured the GB202-250 GPU, the RTX 5090 uses the GB202-300, while the new RTX 5090DD uses a newer GB202-240 GPU. We should expect the new RTX 5090 D v2 to use a newer PCB design -- PG145 SKU 40 -- which is required because of the changes to the VRAM and GPU layout.
