Lisuan shows 7G100 production line ahead of May 20 retail launch
Lisuan Technology has confirmed that its 7G100 graphics card will go on sale through JD.com on May 20. The date comes after the company previously announced a 618 shopping festival sales window for the consumer card, which we covered last week alongside its planned support for more than 100 games at launch .
Chinese GPU brand shows full production line to answer sceptics
The company also released a video showing its graphics card production line, including manufacturing and testing steps. This appears to be a direct response to criticism that China’s domestic GPU projects often remain at the prototype or demo stage. For Lisuan, showing production hardware is a useful step, because the 7G100 has drawn more attention than most recent domestic GPU launches. However, let’s not forget that the sampling was announced months ago , and there have been literally zero official updates until there were.

Lisuan 7G100, finally a new GPU for gamers
The 7G100 series is based on Lisuan’s TrueGPU architecture and uses a 6nm process. Lisuan says the architecture, instruction set and compute core were developed in house. The consumer 7G100 card listed by Lisuan uses 12GB of GDDR6 memory, four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and supports DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 3.0.
Lisuan has also received WHQL certification for the 7G100. This is an important box to check for a Windows graphics card, but it does not answer the main question for gaming, which is driver maturity across a large set of real titles.
Gaming yes, but experience may vary
Earlier internal and public benchmark claims placed the 7G106 (the GPU inside) near GeForce RTX 4060-class performance in synthetic tests, including 3DMark Fire Strike and Geekbench OpenCL. Gaming performance is a different workload, and this is where driver work, shader compilation, API support and per-game fixes will decide the actual experience.
Lisuan has been fairly open about the work still required on the software side. The company says it will support more than 100 games at launch, including Steam titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong and Resident Evil 4 Remake. That is a solid starting point for a first-generation domestic gaming GPU, but independent tests will show how close the card gets to its synthetic benchmark claims once it reaches buyers.
So what is new? The company is no longer staying quiet and has now confirmed that the 7G100 will launch on May 20. This is likely a pre-order date, and for now it appears to apply only to China’s JD.com platform.
