On December 29, NVIDIA officially launched the GeForce RTX 4090 D consumer gaming graphics card for the Chinese mainland market. This product is specially designed in response to the U.S. export control measures against China in October, and has been downgraded on the basis of the original RTX 4090, and the official suggested retail price is still RMB 12,999.
According to Ape World Computing Rate, 4090 D In terms of specifications, compared with the standard version of RTX 4090, the RTX 4090 D graphics card has made some adjustments. The most significant change is the reduction of the number of CUDA cores from 16,384 to 14,592, a decrease of about 11%. This also led to a reduction in the number of SM units from 128 to 114. In addition, the GPU core base frequency of the graphics card has been changed from the previous 223GHz slightly increased to 228GHz, while the acceleration frequency also rises slightly to 252ghz。In terms of video memory, the RTX 4090 D graphics card is equipped with 24GB GDDR6X video memory with a memory bit width of 384-bit. In addition, the power consumption of the RTX 4090 D graphics card is slightly reduced to 425W compared to the previous 450W power consumption.
In terms of performance, Nvidia claims that the RTX 4090 D graphics card equipped with the NVIDIA ADA Lovelace architecture will far exceed the performance of the previous generation flagship RTX 3090 Ti after turning on DLSS and ray tracing. It is worth mentioning that the average energy consumption of this product has been reduced by almost 25%. The card also supports Tensor Cores, 3rd Gen RT Cores, and the latest NVIDIA DLSS 3 technology, which makes it excellent in areas such as 3D rendering, editing, and graphic design.
Nvidia announced that the RTX 4090 D will be available from January 2024, with an official suggested retail price of 12,999 yuan, which is consistent with the RTX 4090. It is worth mentioning that the RTX 4090 D does not have a public version of the card, and the major AIC graphics card manufacturers will launch their own non-public version of the product. At present, many brands such as MSI, Shadow, ZOTAC, and Gainward have launched their respective RTX 4090 D graphics cards. However, as of today, there is no NVIDIA RTX 4090 D graphics card listed in the Chinese mainland market, and the retail price of its products is unknown for the time being.
In the face of the new situation of U.S. export controls, NVIDIA actively responded and launched the new RTX 4090 D graphics card, which is a compliant product developed specifically for the Chinese market. This product is NVIDIA's latest export control measures against China in October 2023, and it is downgraded on the basis of the original RTX 4090 to meet the needs of the Chinese market.
The RTX 4090 D was originally designed to meet the specific needs of the Chinese market, and it is also a positive response to NVIDIA's national policy. This product not only retains the high performance of the original RTX 4090, but also demonstrates NVIDIA's strong technical strength and innovation ability in dealing with export controls.
First, the RTX 4090 D has been appropriately tweaked in terms of specifications to comply with the new export control regulations. Although the number of CUDA cores has decreased, the overall performance is still able to meet the needs of high-end games and professional computing. At the same time, the base clock and boost frequency of the graphics card have also been increased compared to the original, further enhancing its performance.
In addition, the RTX 4090 D has been downgraded without sacrificing quality and stability. On the contrary, it has made further optimizations in terms of heat dissipation and power consumption control to adapt to the climate environment of the Chinese market.
In the future, we look forward to seeing more products like the RTX 4090D, which excel in terms of technological innovation, performance optimization, and compliance. Such products will help meet the changing needs of the market and provide consumers with a richer range of choices. At the same time, they will also drive the industry forward and lead the industry to new heights.
In addition, we expect NVIDIA and other graphics card manufacturers to continue to focus on the Chinese market, deeply understand the needs and expectations of consumers, and bring more targeted products to the market." This will not only help to expand the company's market share in China, but also promote the technological progress of the industry to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
The NVIDIA 4090 D graphics card has been tweaked compared to the original RTX 4090 graphics card in terms of performance and **, especially in terms of the number of CUDA cores. However, to a certain extent, 4090 d graphics cards may have a certain degree of impact on the existing 4090 graphics card market. After all, the performance is not much different, and the channel access is relatively convenient, so the ** of the 4090, which was hotly hyped some time ago, should fall back and return to a relatively rational level. However, in addition to its place in the field of gaming graphics cards, the 4090 D will still be widely used in artificial intelligence computing. However, it still has a high market share for users who are looking for extreme performance. However, it is undeniable that the launch of 4090D graphics cards may also attract some consumers who originally bought the original 4090 graphics cards to buy 4090D graphics cards.
