China's LX 7G100 GPU 1,000 units

China’s LX 7G100 is real, but the most solidly verified parts of the story are narrower than the viral posts suggest. Lisuan Technology has launched the LX 7G100 in China, and the card is now visible through the company’s own product page and a JD.com retail listing. Lisuan describes it as a consumer gaming card with 12GB of GDDR6 memory, four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 3.0 support. What is not yet easy to verify from primary or mainstream retail sources is the most viral part of the claim set: the “1,000 units only” figure and the roughly 22,000 sign-ups in 24 hours. Those numbers are circulating in social posts, but I could not independently confirm them from Lisuan’s site or the JD.com listing. ### So what can be confirmed right now? May 20, 2026 is the clearest launch date in circulation. (lisuantech.com) A Chinese retail write-up citing Lisuan said the LX 7G100 would begin its exclusive debut on JD.com that day, and third-party launch coverage published on May 20 and May 21 treated the card as commercially released. JD.com’s product page confirms the model name as “砺算科技LX 7G100 12G 创始版消费显卡,” which translates to a 12GB Founders Edition consumer graphics card. (lisuantech.com) Lisuan’s own page matches the positioning: gaming, content creation and local AI PC workloads. (post.smzdm.com) ### What hardware is Lisuan actually selling? The LX 7G100 is being marketed as a fully self-developed Chinese gaming GPU built on Lisuan’s TrueGPU architecture. Lisuan’s page lists 12GB GDDR6 memory, a 294 x 120 x 49mm board size, 8K60 HDR display support and hardware video encode/decode support including HEVC. Third-party launch coverage adds more detail, saying the card uses a 6nm chip, a 192-bit memory bus, PCIe 4.0 x16 and a 225W total board power target. (item.jd.com) That same coverage said the card had received Microsoft WHQL driver certification, a point also echoed in Chinese retail commentary that dated the certification to April 24, 2026. (lisuantech.com) ### Is it really competing with Nvidia and AMD on performance? Early reviews say the card runs modern games, but not at the level implied by some pre-launch comparisons. VideoCardz, citing testing by the Bilibili reviewer Chaowanke, said the LX 7G100 can run current DirectX 12 titles at launch but trails the GeForce RTX 4060 by a wide margin in actual game results. (wccftech.com) Chaowanke’s review, as summarized by VideoCardz, showed 88 frames per second in *Cyberpunk 2077* at 1080p with FSR3 Quality and frame generation, versus 232 FPS on an RTX 4060. In *Black Myth: Wukong*, the LX 7G100 reached 56 FPS while the RTX 4060 reached 115 FPS. Wccftech similarly described the card as landing closer to RTX 3060-class performance in launch testing. (videocardz.com) ### What about the price after subsidies? The most repeatable public price point is about 3,299 yuan, or roughly $480 at current conversion levels used in launch coverage. That is higher than the roughly $436 figure in the social posts you referenced, which appears to depend on local subsidy treatment rather than the headline launch price. I could verify the 3,299-yuan figure in review coverage, but not a universal nationwide subsidized checkout price. (videocardz.com) ### Why are people paying attention if the card is slower than hoped? China’s domestic GPU story is the draw. Lisuan is one of the few companies trying to ship a consumer gaming card with its own architecture, drivers and software stack rather than just a niche accelerator or workstation product. Review coverage repeatedly frames the LX 7G100 as notable because it is a usable, modern Chinese gaming GPU with broad API support at launch. (videocardz.com) The next hard checkpoints are straightforward: whether Lisuan discloses shipment numbers, whether JD.com shows broader restocks beyond the initial batch, and whether driver updates narrow the gap seen in the first independent game tests.
