Nvidia has removed information about the RTX 4090, one of the most popular gaming graphics cards among gamers, from its official website in China, raising concerns about supply for local users.
Nvidia has yet to explain this change. The RTX 4090 gaming card has disappeared from the company's GeForce RTX 40 series website in mainland China. Chinese buyers can only choose from other options such as the 4060, 4070, and 4080.

The supply of RTX 4090 in China has been tight due to its performance in graphics processing applications. There are concerns that it may be recalled after the US updated its export controls last month, setting higher standards for the export of advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) to the Chinese market.
Several of Nvidia's major hardware partners in China – including AsusTek Computer, Micro-Star International, and Colorful Technology – have also removed the RTX 4090 gaming card from their respective online stores on e-commerce platforms Taobao and JD.com. This has further fueled concerns among consumers about product inventory levels in the country.
However, according to SCMP, users can still purchase RTX 4090 cards through e-commerce retailers as well as black market distributors. One merchant on JD.com offered the card for 22,894 yuan on November 20th. Many other limited-supply Nvidia GPUs, including the 4090, are also available through unofficial channels.
In its October 2023 export update, the U.S. introduced provisions to mitigate the impact on the consumer market, facilitating the import of certain artificial intelligence (AI) chips for personal use.
The RTX 4090 and RTX 6000 also qualify for exemptions. However, both cards are now listed alongside a range of banned data center GPUs such as the Nvidia H100, H800, A100, and A800, according to a document provided to SCMP by an Nvidia distributor.
