Lisuan Technology is a relatively new Chinese firm that was established in Shanghai five years ago by three previous staff members from the well-known S3 Graphics, a GPU manufacturer that was very popular in the 1990s. With significant funding from both private and state enterprises in China, Lisuan Tech began creating GPUs aimed at providing alternatives to Nvidia and AMD specifically for the Chinese market. Their latest generation of GPUs, the G100 series, has recently been launched within China, featuring a gaming version along with several workstation and server models.
Gaming Model Details
The gaming version is called Extreme LX 7G106 and is expected to be available starting June 18 of this year, with pre-orders launching on March 17, as stated in the latest announcement for AWE 2026. Initially, it will be available for order on JD.com, but Lisuan has plans to eventually sell their models worldwide.
Technical Specifications
Currently, the technical specifications are somewhat vague; however, this gaming-focused GPU, built on 6 nm technology, is equipped with 12 GB GDDR6 memory and a 192-bit memory bus. It also has 192 texture mapping units (TMUs), 96 render output processors (ROPs), and a maximum total graphics power (TGP) of 225 W, making it likely a mid-range option at best. The card occupies three slots and includes a cooling mechanism with three fans. In terms of connectivity, it lacks HDMI ports but offers four DisplayPort 1.4a connections.
Lisuan asserts that the GPU can handle demanding modern games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, and Resident Evil 4 Remake, in addition to other well-known Steam games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and titles from the Horizon series. However, the company has not yet provided any direct performance comparisons against Nvidia or AMD products. The GPU’s compatibility is backed by support for advanced APIs including DX12, Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3.0.
Workstation and Server Solutions
For the workstation and server sectors that require AI hardware, Lisuan is also working on specialized options like the LX Ultra and LX PRO cards, which come with 24 GB VRAM, as well as the LX MAX that features 12 GB of VRAM.
All of these new LX cards boast broad CPU compatibility, accommodating models from Intel, AMD, Hygon, Loongson, Phytium, and Zhaoxin. Furthermore, operating system support is extended to include both Windows and Linux-based systems such as UOS, Ubuntu, and Kylinsoft.
