NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 Review

Looking into the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, you're looking at a running revision of the original RTX 5090 D that NVIDIA quietly re-spun for the Chinese market after regulators tightened the export compliance rules further in 2025.

The V2 keeps the same 21,760 CUDA cores and 32GB GDDR7 as the original 5090 D, but ships with a lower rated TDP (575W vs 600W) and a re-tuned power/performance curve to satisfy an updated compute-performance ceiling, without changing the die or memory configuration customers already knew.

Performance & Use Case

Real-world 4K and ray tracing performance tracks within a couple of percent of the original 5090 D, so it still comfortably out-runs any previous-generation GeForce card at native 4K. It exists for the same buyers as the original 5090 D: enthusiasts and studios in China who need the fastest legally importable NVIDIA GPU for gaming, rendering and AI-assisted content workflows.

Comparison to Alternatives

Compared to the first-generation NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D (nvidia-rtx-5090-d), the V2 trims a further 1-2% of sustained clocks in exchange for regulatory headroom, so real-world gaming differences between the two are within margin of error. Compared to the global NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (nvidia-rtx-5090), the gap is a little larger than before but still small enough that the 5090 D V2 remains the fastest card sold through official channels in its region.
