Lisuan Technology launched the G100 series graphics cards, aiming to compete with NVIDIA and AMD and reduce reliance on foreign GPUs.

Founded in 2021, Lisuan nearly went bankrupt in 2024 but rebounded to develop its own TrueGPU architecture, manufactured on SMIC’s 6nm process.

Lisuan 7G100/7G106 gaming GPU rivals mid-range NVIDIA GPUs, supports modern APIs, and is expected to hit the consumer market by early 2026, with benchmarks imminent.
China has taken a significant step toward technological self-reliance in graphics processing with the launch of the Lisuan G100 GPUs, according to reports from foreign media.
Developed by Chinese firm Lisuan Technology, the G100 series marks one of the country’s first serious efforts to establish a homegrown competitor to industry leaders such as NVIDIA and AMD. The move highlights China’s growing ambition to reduce dependence on foreign semiconductor technology and build a competitive domestic GPU ecosystem.
Specifically, we’re talking about the Lisuan 7G100, which could very well be a gaming graphics card. For now, its shipments have been limited to Chinese business clients, which is where the real business is. But finally, its arrival on the retail market is expected in early 2026.
Lisuan Technology’s Journey From Bankruptcy to the G100 GPU In Just One Year!
To give you some context, Lisuan Technology was founded practically yesterday, in 2021, to be precise. What’s most striking is that in 2024 it nearly went bankrupt, but was saved by a significant capital injection. Since then, it has made remarkable progress with its graphics architecture, designed from scratch without foreign licenses, and dubbed TrueGPU.
This architecture is used by its Lisuan G100, which features a graphics chip manufactured by the Chinese foundry SMIC using a 6nm lithographic process.
From what we know so far, in its very early versions, this Lisuan G100 GPU appeared in benchmarks like Geekbench. In the most recent leaks, it now outperforms an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or an Intel Arc A770 in this benchmark. This also means it falls just short of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060.
This demonstrates that the hardware is there and that everything will depend on the software. We’re talking about impressive performance considering this company was founded in 2021, created its own architecture, and by 2026, is already offering the performance of a mid-range NVIDIA GPU.
The First Benchmarks Could Arrive Any Day Now
The Lisuan G100, or 7G100 for the gaming market, uses the 7G106 graphics chip. This chip, with 192 TMUs and 96 ROPs, is paired with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and has a TDP of 225W.
Therefore, it requires an 8-pin power connector. On the other hand, there’s the professional version with the 7G105 chip. The main difference is that it comes with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory with ECC support. Furthermore, this chip offers FP32 performance of 24 TFLOPS.
The important thing is that the gaming GPU will debut with support for the DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3.0 APIs. Therefore, it’s expected to have little to no support for, or significant performance issues with, older games. This is what happened to Intel with the debut of its Intel Arc GPUs. Although they have since improved their support for games based on DirectX 11 and DirectX 9.
With its arrival on the consumer market, it’s a matter of days, or at most weeks, before local tech media outlets can get their hands on a GPU to subject it to numerous benchmarks.
Even if it performs like an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, or even better, it will still be an achievement. This paves the way for China to start selling computers with hardware entirely developed and manufactured in China.
