The new GeForce RTX 4090 D graphics card has just been released in the Chinese market. This is a special version of the model, available exclusively in China. The decision to introduce this version is due to restrictions on the export of high-performance graphics processors to China, imposed by the US government.
Over the past few years, the GeForce RTX 4090 has become the most powerful graphics card on the market, achieving a high position in all performance rankings. Unfortunately, its tremendous performance has become problematic, especially after the introduction of export restrictions. In response, Nvidia did not withdraw from the Chinese market but cleverly found a way to bypass the limitations. They introduced the new GeForce RTX 4090 D model, which meets the export requirements for China.
GeForce RTX 4090 D is essentially a slimmed-down version of the standard GeForce RTX 4090 model. A weaker graphics processor has been used, while retaining the memory capacity and bandwidth. The D version also has a lower power consumption.
The performance of the GeForce RTX 4090 D card is comparable to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti model. However, it can be presumed that the GeForce RTX 4090 D will be slightly less efficient than the standard version. Despite this, the price of the GeForce RTX 4090 D card remains the same as the original GeForce RTX 4090. However, this is due to government restrictions, not the manufacturer’s decision.
The new GeForce RTX 4090 D card is already available in the Chinese market. Some manufacturers have already introduced their own versions of this card, with a clear “4090 D” label on the packaging. The price of the card in China is 12,999 yuan.
Will the weaker version of the graphics card gain acceptance from Chinese customers? However, due to export restrictions, customers have no choice.
