The Chinese graphics card market is undergoing a revolution: modified versions of NVIDIA RTX 4090D and RTX 4080 SUPER with increased memory capacity appeared in cloud services, opening up new opportunities for AI computing.
Graphics cards for AI
Memory breakthrough
Unique versions of NVIDIA RTX 4090D video cards have appeared on the Chinese market, equipped with an impressive 48 GB of memory. This modification, created on the basis of the AD102 processor, is designed to bypass US export restrictions and meet the growing needs for computing power.
Source of information
Information about the new product was provided by insider @bdsqlsz, who gained access to the cloud platform where these powerful graphics are already installed accelerators. The main purpose of such video cards is to train large-scale language and generative artificial intelligence models, which require not only high performance, but also a significant amount of memory.
Specifications
Despite the lack of visual evidence, the insider confirmed the RTX 4090D memory bandwidth at 937 GB/s, which corresponds to the characteristics of GDDR6X. Interestingly, the 48GB of memory is paired with the AD102 GPU, which is typically found in RTX ADA workstations, but using the GDDR6 standard. This indicates the use of faster memory in the modified version of the RTX 4090D.
Unusual modifications
Such memory configuration changes are not uncommon in the enthusiast community and service centers specializing in GPUs. However, the fact that such modified video cards appear on the cloud computing platform indicates their more widespread use.
Technological solutions
The standard version of the RTX 4090D supports 12 memory modules, but the use of boards from the RTX 3090 Ti, designed for 24 module, combined with the AD102 processor from the RTX 4090D allows you to double the memory capacity. It is assumed that this is the approach used in Chinese server solutions.

Wow, 48 GB of memory on the video card! 🤯 This is just space for training neural networks. I wonder how much this will speed up the process?
Hans
Yes, Olivia, that's impressive! But I'm more interested in how they got around export restrictions. This could have serious political consequences, right? 🤔
Francois
Hans, you're right about politics. But let's look at the technical side - 937 GB/s bandwidth is something! 🚀 I wonder how this will affect the cloud computing market?
Isabella
Guys, don't you think this could lead to an arms race in the field of AI? 😰 China will receive a powerful tool for developing its models.
Viktor
Eh, these newfangled things again. Why do we need so much memory? Previously, 4 GB was enough for everything. They just waste money on these toys.
Sophia
Victor, times are changing! 😄 These powers are needed not for games, but for serious computing. Imagine the possibilities this opens up for science and medicine!
Carlos
Sophia is right! I've heard that such powerful GPUs are used to simulate climate and search for new drugs. Maybe these cards will help solve global problems! 🌍💊
Olivia
Carlos, great idea! 👍And think about the potential for creating more realistic graphics in movies and games. The future is here and it looks amazing! 🎬🎮
