In a strategic market maneuver, Nvidia has unveiled the RTX 4090D—a slightly less potent iteration of its high-performance RTX 4090 GPU—specifically for the Chinese market. This move directly responds to the U.S. government’s efforts to hurt the Chinese tech market by restricting the exports of advanced goods and services from American providers amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

At the core of the new regulations? A desire to stymie Chinese efforts to achieve dominance in artificial intelligence tech.

The recently revealed RTX 4090D features 14,592 CUDA processing cores, compared to 16,384 in the standard RTX 4090. It also has a slightly lower power draw at 425W instead of 450W. As a result, the 4090D is just 5% less powerful than the original, but still manages to respect the 4,800 TOPS (trillion operations per second) speed limit established by the United States as the fastest that American hardware can achieve and still be sold in China.

Also, the new GPUs won’t support overclocking, so (at least on paper) there is no way to tweak them to make them more powerful.
