NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 GPU to Launch Exclusively in China on August 12: Features 21,000 Cores, 24 GB Memory, and Up to 600W TDP Factory Overclock

The highly anticipated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 graphics card is slated for release on August 12, 2025, marking a significant addition to the blackwell gaming lineup in China.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 Launch in China

As reported by Expreview and Benchlife, NVIDIA is preparing to introduce the RTX 5090 D V2 as the newest variant tailored to comply with U. S.regulatory standards. This addition replaces the previous RTX 5090 D and continues a trend of exclusive graphics cards for the Chinese market, similar to the RTX 4090 D and RTX 5090 D.

According to relevant channels, NVIDIA has preliminarily determined the launch time of RTX 5090 D V2, which is 9 pm on August 12, 2025, but the pricing is not clear yet.

In addition, it is reported that there is not much difference between the RTX 5090 D V2 and the RTX 5090 D in the game test.

In terms of specifications, the RTX 5090 D V2 is rumored to utilize the GB202-240 die, contrasting with the GB202-250 chip found in the RTX 5090 D and the GB202-300 present in the standard 5090 version. Coupled with a revised PCB design, the PG145 WeU 40, this graphics card reflects ongoing advancements in VRAM and GPU architecture.

This model sustains a core count of 21, 760, but the VRAM has been reduced to 24 GB GDDR7 on a 384-bit interface, marking a 25% cut from its predecessor’s specifications. Current details about clock speeds are sparse; however, performance is expected to remain robust, provided that the reduced memory does not hinder operations.

Additionally, Benchlife confirms that while the Total Graphics Power (TGP) is set at 575W, manufacturers can modify it to a maximum of 600W, providing potential for factory-overclocked models. As for pricing, there remain no insights; however, the significant reduction in VRAM raises expectations for a corresponding decrease in cost to avoid disappointing Chinese consumers.

Beyond the RTX 5090 D V2, NVIDIA is reported to be rolling out a compliant new RTX PRO GPU for the Chinese market and resuming sales of the H20 model, alongside discussions about a potential B40 “Blackwell” variant.
