The only discrepancy exists in AI performance which has been dialed down from 3,352 AI TOPS on the RTX 5090 to 2,375 AI TOPS on the RTX 5090D; a 29% reduction. The RTX 5090D operates at the very edge of US export guidelines with a reported TPP hitting 4,750, only 50 points below the limit.

Isn't 2375 TOPS still a lot more than the 4090?

Inb4 the 5090D gets unlocked to fulfill its true potential.

I was thinking a long the same lines- doesn't this mean that the 5090 is less than 23% more powerful than the 4090. If they just dealt it back to 4090 level= it wouldn't pass the embargo.
