LisuanTech Unveils 'Lisuan Extreme' GPU
China's LisuanTech unveiled the "Lisuan Extreme" gaming GPU on a 6nm 7G106 chip with 12GB GDDR6 (192-bit bus), PCIe 4.0 x16, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 225W TDP [https://x.com/wccftech/status/2032060835032649838]. It supports AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 at up to 8K via 4 DisplayPorts [https://x.com/wccftech/status/2032060835032649838].
LisuanTech, a Shanghai-based GPU startup founded in 2021, is aiming to rival NVIDIA's RTX 4060 with its new "Lisuan Extreme" GPU. Pre-orders for the card, along with professional-grade variants, are slated to begin on March 17th. Availability is expected by June 18th, initially through JD.com, with plans for global sales later. The "Lisuan Extreme" utilizes the company's "TrueGPU Tiantu" architecture and supports DirectX 12, Vulkan, OpenGL, and OpenCL APIs. It also features NRSS, Lisuan's proprietary upscaling tech similar to NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FSR. While actual performance metrics are scarce, Lisuan claims the card delivers playable framerates in AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth: Wukong. Early benchmarks put the "Lisuan Extreme" in the vicinity of the RTX 4060, achieving 24 TFLOPs of compute power and scoring 26,800 in 3DMark Fire Strike. The company hopes to offer a domestic alternative to AMD and NVIDIA, particularly given US export restrictions. Lisuan was founded by former S3 Graphics employees and is backed by significant investments from Chinese private and state companies.
