Nvidia's China-exclusive RTX 6000D reportedly gets lukewarm reception in China due to hobbled performance — could leave Nvidia with huge backlog of unwanted GPUs

Nvidia's China-exclusive RTX6000D GPU, created to address trade restrictions, is reportedly facing low demand in China due to underwhelming performance compared to other available options. The card, priced at $7,000, may result in Nvidia accumulating a surplus of unwanted GPUs. Despite efforts to comply with export controls, the RTX6000D's lackluster reception highlights challenges in the Chinese market, where domestic chip production is prioritized. Ongoing trade negotiations between China and the US could impact Nvidia's future GPU sales, with the potential release of the faster B30A GPU presenting a more appealing alternative.
