MANLI Announces New GeForce RTX 5090D with 24 GB VRAM Capacity

Emerging reports indicate that NVIDIA is significantly downgrading the RTX 5090D graphics card, potentially reducing its VRAM capacity compared to earlier expectations. This development has generated considerable speculation in the tech community.

Reported VRAM Reduction for the RTX 5090D: A Shift in Specification

The upcoming RTX 5090D model, tailored for the Chinese market, is poised to feature a reduction in memory from 32 GB to only 24 GB. This adjustment follows recent sanctions imposed by the United States, which have impacted the existing GeForce RTX 5090D due to non-compliance with new export regulations. An NVIDIA partner has confirmed these changes, indicating a significant shift in the product’s specifications.

According to a communication from MANLI, the representative acknowledged the adjustments in a conversation with a user. Recent information aligns with this confirmation, revealing that the RTX 5090D is expected to share technical features with the RTX PRO 5000 GPU, including a memory architecture comprising 24 GB GDDR7 over a 384-bit memory bus. Consequently, the memory bandwidth will likely remain below the 1.4 TB/s threshold set by U. S.regulations for products sold in China.

This radical change not only reduces the VRAM but may also entail a decrease in CUDA core count. Reports suggest the RTX 5090D will have 14, 080 CUDA cores, a significant drop from the 21, 760 cores present in the standard RTX 5090. This decline in core count could lead to diminished performance in gaming and productivity applications. However, it is important to note that these specifications have yet to be officially verified by NVIDIA or its partners.

The RTX 5090D is expected to commence shipping towards the end of July or in early August, thereby ending the production of its predecessor, which was discontinued in the second quarter. Furthermore, NVIDIA is rumored to be developing a new GPU series under the RTX 50 Blackwell line, potentially introducing either the RTX 5080 Super or RTX 5080 Ti, which is also believed to feature 24 GB of VRAM.
