Lisuan's 7G100 gaming graphics card will launch on 20th May, becoming China's first fully domestic 6nm GPU with WHQL certification.

China's first domestically produced 6nm GPU for gaming audiences is launching on 20th May, bringing wider support, and the biggest of all, for drivers, joining the ranks of Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD.

This makes Lisuan Technologies the first Chinese GPU maker to achieve WHQL certification, marking a significant progress for domestic producers. Lisuan also states much wider game and software support with 7G100 versus past offerings and driver releases.

The company has also showcased that the graphics card is in full production at its factory and is going through rigorous testing before the official launch next month.

The Lisuan Extreme "LX 7G100" graphics card is designed with gamers in mind and supports all the latest APIs and game engines.

In terms of specifications, the Lisuan Extreme is powered by the 6nm 7G106 GPU and is the company's first true graphics card design for gamers. This graphics card features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit bus interface and PCIe 4.0 x16 compliance. The graphics card comes with a total of 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and has a maximum TDP of 225W, powered by a single 8-pin connector.

In terms of design, the graphics card will come in a triple-slot form factor with three fans that are covered by the top grill. The graphics card features four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, supports up to 8K60Hz HDR Freesync functionality with AV1 4K@30 FPS Encode, HEVC 8K@30FPS Encode, and AVI/HEVC 8K/60FPS Decode. It also supports all modern APIs such as DX12, Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3.0.

Unlike previous domestic offerings, the Lisuan Extreme GPU will feature out-of-the-box support for the latest AAA games, including Baldur's Gate III, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Black Myth: Wukong, The Witcher III, Monster Hunter RISE, Resident Evil 4, and SEKIRO (to name a few).

Based on previous demos , the 7G100 is estimated to offer performance close to an RTX 4060, but these demos were only conducted in synthetic applications such as Geekbench OpenCL and 3DMark benchmarks.

As per LisuanTech, the LX series graphics cards will be compatible with a wide range of CPUs from Intel, AMD, Hygon, Loongson, Phytium, Zhaoxin, etc, and OS support includes Windows, UOS, Ubuntu, and Kylinsoft. Just like the gaming variant, the LX series also supports various APIs such as DirectX 12, Vulkan, OpenGL, and OpenCL.

Lisuan intends to launch four graphics cards, including the 7G100. While the 7G100 is targeted at the consumer segment, the aim at the professional segment with Pro-tier drivers.

Currently, Lisuan has positioned the 7G100 for a retail launch on the 20th of May. The company hasn't disclosed the prices, but the card will be available in a special "Founders Edition" model. China is rapidly deploying more domestic GPUs for general-purpose, AI, and gaming workloads. Another company, Fuxi , shared its plans to offer 5nm GPUs with production starting this year.
