The First GPU Out of China Can’t Compete Against Nvidia… Yet
The first wholly China-made graphics card, the Lisuan LX 7G100, has been released but struggles to compete with established brands like Nvidia and AMD. Despite selling out its initial stock of 30,000 units, performance benchmarks show it lagging behind older models. The GPU represents a shift in the market as consumers seek alternatives amid rising prices from major manufacturers.
- ▪The Lisuan LX 7G100 is made entirely without Nvidia or AMD's microarchitecture.
- ▪In benchmark tests, the LX 7G100 performed similarly to a six-year-old Nvidia RTX 3060.
- ▪The GPU is compatible with Windows and major gaming APIs, despite its lower performance.
