Arrr, me hearties! The alleged RTX 4090 D, a wee less mighty version, but methinks it be havin' a grand chance o' flyin' off the shelves – at least in China, where it be sought like a treasure!
Nvidia is reportedly preparing to release a cut-down version of its RTX 4090 graphics card for the Chinese market, known as the RTX 4090 D. The GPU is on track for a release in early 2024. Previously, there were no details about the specs, but it is now known that the base clock will be increased to 2280MHz, while the boost clock will remain the same as the standard RTX 4090. The exact extent of the core cutting is still unknown.The leaked information comes from a well-known leaker on X, MEGAsizeGPU, who also suggests that the launch of the RTX 4090 D is imminent. The leaker claims to have all the specs, including the core count, but is not sharing them to protect their source. The presence of box art further indicates that the GPU could hit shelves soon. It is speculated that the RTX 4090 D may be launched in February 2024, coinciding with the Year of the Dragon in China.
There is uncertainty regarding the availability of the RTX 4090 D and whether it will be exclusive to China. Given the variant's name and its purpose of bypassing the US import ban, it is likely that it will be limited to the Chinese market. The demand for RTX 4090s has been high, particularly in Asia, leading to increased prices in the US and elsewhere.
Overall, the release of the RTX 4090 D presents an opportunity for Nvidia to tap into the Chinese market and cater to the demand for high-end graphics cards. The exact details of the GPU's specs and availability are yet to be fully disclosed.
