Let me first explain that the Lisan 7G100 is not China’s first self-developed game graphics card. The MTT S80 launched by Moore Threads in 2022 is. However, there was a lot of thunder and little rain at the time, and the actual test performance was very poor. Not only did it not support DirectX 12 in the early stage, Vulkan could only barely run, and it could not run most modern games. There were even serious rendering errors and texture damage, and the running score was even NVIDIA GTX The 1050 Ti can’t even win.
The 7G100 launched by Lisuan Technology this time is China’s first game graphics card that can be used normally and run mainstream games. Earlier, Chinese fashion gamers shared actual test videos of this graphics card. The results showed that compared with the RTX 4060, which was originally regarded as a competitor, there is still a gap in performance. It can only barely catch up with the RTX 3060, and it does not support ray tracing.

China’s first self-developed gaming graphics card 7G100 that can truly be played out of the box is now on sale: the price is comparable to the RTX 5060 Ti, but the performance is only as good as the RTX 3060
Before looking at the actual measured data, let’s first understand the specifications.
Lisuan 7G100 uses TSMC’s 6nm process and is equipped with Lisuan’s self-developed TrueGPU architecture, which is internally codenamed “Tiantu”. Lisuan emphasized that this architecture, from the instruction set, computing core, to software stack, is all built from scratch, without reusing existing IP.
Specific specifications are as follows:
- 12GB GDDR6 memory
- 192-bit memory width
- 192 texture units (TMU)
- 96 ROPs
- PCIe 4.0 x16 interface
- Single 8-pin power supply
- TDP 225W
- FP32 computing power 24 TFLOPs

In terms of display output, it is equipped with 4 DisplayPort 1.4a, supporting 8K60 HDR (including DSC). API support is also complete, including DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3.0. In addition, the 7G100 has also passed Microsoft WHQL driver certification, which is the first time for a self-developed display card in China. It means that the Windows platform has at least a basic guarantee of driver compatibility.
According to the official data released previously, “the synthetic running score is close to the RTX 4060”, but after actual testing by Chinese fashion players, it seems that there is still a gap.
The first is “Cyberpunk 2077” 1080p medium quality, with FSR3 quality + AI frame-filling turned on:
- Lisuan 7G100：88 FPS
- NVIDIA RTX 4060：232 FPS
- Intel Arc B580：243 FPS
- AMD RX 6600 XT：220 FPS

Next is “Black Myth: Wukong” 1080p medium quality + FSR3 63:
- Lisuan LX 7G100：56 FPS
- RTX 4060：115 FPS
- Arc B580：81 FPS
- RX 6600 XT：98 FPS

“Forza Horizon 5” 1080p low quality:
- Lisuan LX 7G100：48 FPS
- RTX 4060：228 FPS
- Arc B580：240 FPS
- RX 6600 XT：262 FPS

“Shadow of the Tomb Raider” 1080p medium quality + TAA:
- Lisuan LX 7G100：71 FPS
- RTX 4060：176 FPS
- Arc B580：182 FPS
- RX 6600 XT：159 FPS

Therefore, it is obvious that the 7G100 not only loses to the RTX 4060 by more than twice, but also the AMD RX 6600 XT 5 years ago also surpasses it by a large margin. This gap is obviously far from the official figures previously released. But at least it’s still playable.
The 7G100 has two difficult flaws for a short period of time. One is that it does not support hardware ray tracing, which competitors NVIDIA, Intel and AMD have. Second, there are many frame drops and freezes when executing the game, and the picture smoothness is also worse than that of opponents at the same level.
The first Founders Edition of Lisuan LX 7G100 is limited to 1,000 units and is priced at 3,299 yuan, which is equivalent to about 480 yuan in US dollars and approximately 15,000 yuan in New Taiwan dollars. You can buy RTX 5060 Ti at this price in Taiwan. With such performance and hardware specifications, the CP value is obviously not high.
