NVIDIA to Launch China-specific GeForce RTX 5090DD in August

[btarunr]

NVIDIA is preparing to launch the China-specific GeForce RTX 5090DD graphics card in August 2025, Benchlife reports. The SKU came to light last week bearing internal codename "PG145-SKU40," and being based on the ASIC "GB202-240-K#-A1." It has the same shader count as the regular RTX 5090, with 21,760 CUDA cores across 170 SM, but with a truncated memory sub-system, with 24 GB of 28 Gbps GDDR7 across a 384-bit wide memory interface, for 1,344 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The card's TGP (total graphics power) remains unchanged from the regular RTX 5090, at 575 W. The idea behind GeForce RTX 5090DD is to comply with U.S. export-controls on GPUs with dual-use as AI accelerators.

A 5090 with double Ds will sell a lot.

I wonder how long will it take the Chinese to swap the memory chips with higher density modules.

a week max for actually replacing the chips but for doing firmware work another month or two.

They do say once you start youll always want keep going bigger...

Now if they would have Double E's.

Replacing? I would wager they're going to receive boards already without memory ready to be completed modded with the higher density parts

With those specs that card has more "AI" performance than a 4090 so doesn't comply with trade regulations

Wouldn't be suprised if the shipments contain 5090s with 3GB GDDR7 modules

going the goddess of victory:nikke route huh? DD models…

 

[bonehead123]

Hummm..... I wonder how they came up with that naming scheme....

Chinese woman are not normally known to be well endowed in that area, at least not naturally anyways.....

Oh wait, this article was about GPU's wasn't it, hahahahahahaha

Oh well.....

DD is too much, will they make a 5090 B?
