It is normal that we see more and more rumors and leaks about the new graphics of NVIDIA, And as its launch approaches, more and more data is revealed, and in this case, we could already have a launch date for the variant of the RTX 5090 created exclusively for China, there 5090D. This implies that if they made the decision to create the specific version of this GPU for one country, the rest of the next-gen graphics might be ready as well.
The problems the United States poses for exporting certain products has many companies looking for ways to avoid sanctions to do business with China in various ways, and in this case, NVIDIA has found the solution. the simplest. Cutting the power of graphic cards is something common to launch models that can be more cheap, but in this case, from the company it is done so that the limitations that its more powerful graphics can have do not overcome in order to sell them to its members in this case. Country.
NVIDIA’s flagship product could arrive in China in January
It is normal that special versions of some component models do not arrive too early, this happened for example with the variant 4090D from the previous generation of graphics cards NVIDIA And this model intended to avoid the restrictions imposed by the United States took a long time to develop, in fact compared to the launch of the RTX 4090, it was launched almost a year later.
But this time, the restrictions are not going to surprise the company, and apparently they have already prepared the 4090D model, which stands out for not exceeding the established TPP (Total Processing Power) limit, which is in the 4800 points. The 4090D came with a reduction of between 5 and 10% of the maximum power, so the difference was not really noticeable, but the jump from the 4090 to the 5090 would supposedly be 30% higher, so this loss of power will be much greater, although if they follow the same trajectory as the first “Dragon” graphics, the price will be the same.
According to dedicated graphics card leaker @hongxing2020, this is to simulate a “simultaneous” global launch of its new graphics.

All standard chart editions game NVIDIA could arrive in January
One of the great novelties that we can find if this really turns out to be true, would be to know the state of development of the other graphics offered by the company, that is, if they have finished creating this specific version, it is very likely that the rest of the GPUs are also ready. As we can imagine, this would imply that the launch could take place just a few months after the release of the company’s flagship, and as we have seen, NVIDIA wants to delay the launch of the cheaper models to draw attention to the 5080 and 5090. .
But delaying the release of the “cheaper” models (which are the ones aimed at the general public) too much would only cause a series of problems for the company, so it is likely that it will look for a way to launch them with other new launches, such as perhaps the arrival of the 5090D in China (supposedly) in January.
