RTX 4090D is about to go on sale!The price is 12999 yuan, do you want to reduce the price?

According to the latest leaks, NVIDIA's flagship graphics card RTX 4090D customized for the Chinese market. The major AIC brand manufacturers are fully prepared and are expected to officially go on sale as early as this weekend or early next week.

On the evening of December 28, 2023, in order to comply with relevant export control policies and continue to make money from users in the Chinese market, NVIDIA launched a special version of the RTX 4090D graphics card for the Chinese market. This strategy is similar to that of rival AMD. Previously, in order to cater to the Chinese Year of the Rabbit, AMD launched a zodiac-themed RX7900GRE and RX6750GRE - the "Golden Rabbit Edition".

Although many friends think that the RTX 4090D performance is castrated relative to the RTX 4090, then its price should be cheaper than the RTX 4090. However, NVIDIA has not reduced the price because of this, and the recommended retail price is still the same as the standard version of 4090, starting at 12999 yuan, and there is no public version. Zotac and other brands show a starting price of 13999 on the e-commerce pre-sale interface.

According to NVIDIA's official statement, the RTX 4090D will not only be sold in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and Macau, but will also enter the Vietnamese market.

When it comes to the RTX 4090 graphics card, those who really need it and can afford it must have bought it a long time ago, and those who haven't bought it now are basically non-essential. To put it bluntly, most of the people who have a high demand for the RTX 4090 are some small and medium-sized AI companies or individual studios that have computing power requirements, rather than users who are simply playing games. As for its "special version", Xiao Lei thinks that it is not worth buying for game users at all.

Compared to the RTX 4090D, the RTX 40 Super series seems to be more cost-effective. If you need a top-of-the-line gaming card, you can wait until the end of January of this year to see what happens with the RTX 4080super. According to the current revelations, whether it is in terms of performance improvement or price, the RTX 40 Super series graphics cards are very worth looking forward to, and the specific configuration parameters can be referred to the figure below.

Overall, the GeForce RTX 4090D seems to be more than a simple product, but more like a test of NVIDIA's Chinese market and Chinese consumers. Although the symbolic meaning of the "original price" of the graphics card is greater than the actual meaning, all RTX 40 series graphics cards in the past cannot escape the fate of breaking, and it is foreseeable that the RTX 4090 D will also break soon. But NVIDIA's operation of reducing volume without reducing price is really unreasonable.
