GIGABYTE plans 3 different GeForce RTX 4090 D cards, no factory OC included

NVIDIA's newly tweaked GeForce RTX 4090 D is on its way to China as we speak, with AIB partner GIGABYTE preparing a few different RTX 4090 D models for the country.

All of them have the cut down AD102 GPU, with the same 24GB of GDDR6X memory as the regular RTX 4090 non D. One of the big changes is that none of GIGABYTE's custom GeForce RTX 4090 D graphics cards have any form of factory overclocking, which would bump them over the US export restrictions. NVIDIA has reportedly hard locked the 425W TDP on the RTX 4090 D, meaning that AIB partners only have a little bit of wiggle room when it comes to GPU clock speeds.

The highest GPU boost clock we can expect from the RTX 4090 D is a 15MHz bump, which is done in software with no factory overclocking. Inside, the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D graphics card has the AD102 GPU but it's been cut down, with a total of 14592 CUDA cores down from the 16384 CUDA cores on the regular RTX 4090 while SMs have been cut to 114 down from 128 on the regular RTX 4090.
