Story Highlight
- Lisuan debuted its first gaming GPU, the LX 7G100, selling out its first batch after 30,000 pre-orders in China.
- The company secured Microsoft WHQL certification for its Windows drivers, a major step for a new manufacturer to ensure system stability.
- Since the hardware’s driver ecosystem is still developing, Lisuan issued a manual guide for 40 popular games to help users find the best settings and APIs.
Lisuan has achieved a major milestone in China’s growing graphics card industry by launching its first consumer gaming GPU, the LX 7G100. The initial shipment of the GPUs sold out after receiving around 30,000 pre-orders. This happened shortly after the company released fresh WHQL drivers for Windows and an official tuning guide for 40 popular games.
While the LX 7G100 is currently not a direct competitor to flagship GPUs from established brands, its successful debut proves that China now has a domestically developed gaming graphics card capable of running modern titles smoothly right from launch. However, driver development and long-term optimization still have a long way to go.
The company has released an official guide outlining recommended configurations for 40 games, including 29 DirectX 12 titles, 9 DirectX 11 titles, and 2 DirectX 9 titles. Major titles include Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Horizon Forbidden West, WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, PUBG, Stellar Blade, Resident Evil 4, and GTA V. The strategy is straightforward, if the GPU lacks a developed driver ecosystem, such as NVIDIA or AMD, Lisuan attempts to compensate by informing the user of the API, graphics settings, scaling, and frame rate to use for each game.
Many recommendations use AMD FSR 2 or FSR 3 upscaling and Frame Generation to smooth out or stabilize the experience. In Cyberpunk 2077, for example, Lisuan suggests using high or ultra graphics settings with AMD FSR 3.0 set to automatic, sharpness at 0.5, and FSR 3.1 Frame Generation enabled.
In Black Myth: Wukong, he suggests FSR 3, frame generation enabled, and medium/high resolution. The point here is that the card can run modern games, but it often relies on upscaling and frame creation to produce acceptable results. This will continue until drivers have been tuned to achieve the GPU’s full potential.
The other significant new feature is the drivers. Lisuan has already released its first WHQL driver, v29.0.2260.76, which is around 220 MB for Windows. WHQL certification does not suddenly make the GPU competitive, but it is a significant step because it indicates that the driver has passed Microsoft’s Windows validation procedure, which is especially useful for a new manufacturer in a market dominated by three well-established competitors.
In terms of real-world performance, the Lisuan LX 7G100 is no match for the GeForce RTX 4060. According to tests conducted by local media source Chaowanke, the GPU achieved 88 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 with FSR 3 Quality and Frame Generation settings, compared to 232 FPS for an RTX 4060 and 243 FPS for an Intel Arc B580. In Black Myth: Wukong, the LX 7G100 achieved 56 FPS compared to the RTX 4060’s 115 FPS. In Forza Horizon 5, the gap was much more pronounced: 48 FPS for the Chinese card and 228 FPS for the RTX 4060.
The Lisuan LX 7G100 is both less powerful and significantly more expensive than a GeForce RTX 4060. It costs roughly €420 or $480. At that pricing point, AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA all offer viable choices. Furthermore, for the time being, all of these alternatives are more powerful. Depending on the game, the RTX 4060 is 20–70% faster.
The real goal here is not to outperform NVIDIA, but to provide a viable domestic option. The difficult part is already complete: obtaining a consumer GPU capable of running recent games with DirectX 12, Vulkan, and WQHL driver compatibility. From here, things can only improve. This includes updating the drivers and planning for future, more powerful CPUs.
