    China’s Flagship GPU Lisuan LX 7G100 vs Nvidia RTX 3060: New Test

    Key Takeaway

    – The Lisuan LX 7G100 sits at about 65% of RTX 3060 performance on average (1080p, with RT off, no SR, no Reflex), showing steady but incomplete parity with Nvidia’s mid-range GPU.
    – In several titles (e.g., Monster Hunter Rise, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Dota 2), the RTX 3060 substantially outperforms the LX 7G100 by over 40%, highlighting remaining gaps for newer/AAA games.
    – At its ~$485 launch price, the LX 7G100 is generally not a strong value for 1080p+ gaming compared to the RTX 3060, especially for future titles.


    Overview and context

    The Lisuan LX 7G100 is currently the most capable domestically produced GPU that China has to offer. While it’s a proper improvement over the past Chinese models, it still has a long way to go to beat GPUs from other big players, and a detailed review from Chao Wan Ke has shown exactly that.

    Comparative testing focus

    Now, another review from a Chinese reviewer has popped up, and this one puts the LX 7G100 against the RTX 3060 desktop GPU, the mid-range offering from Nvidia that was released in late 2021. In some games, the Chinese GPU comes surprisingly close, which is rather impressive.

    Overall performance trend

    However, in most of the other games, there’s a big performance difference between the two. To be precise, on average, the Lisuan LX 7G100 was able to offer 65% of the performance of the Nvidia RTX 3060. It’s worth noting that this test, which was done by a BiliBili user called Ancient PC Builder, specifically targets 1080p gaming.

    Testing specifics

    All the games were tested with Ray Tracing, Super Resolution, and Nvidia Reflex turned off, and the test build had the AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D as the CPU. In titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake, Where Winds Meet, and Marvel’s Spider-Man, there was a small difference between the two.

    Varying results across titles

    On the other hand, in other games like Monster Hunter Rise, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Dota 2, the 5+ year-old Nvidia RTX 3060 had an over 40% advantage. This means Lisuan LX 7G100 wouldn’t be a good pick for those who want to run upcoming games at anything above 1080p, especially for its ~$485 launch price. Still, these results suggest that China’s domestic GPU efforts are making steady progress.

    Lisuan LX 7G100: Chinese Gaming GPU Trails RTX 4060

    Key Takeaway

    – 7G100 shows solid 1080p playability (56–182 FPS across tested titles) but trails mainstream GPUs by ~30%, with larger gaps in less-supported games.
    – Stronger game compatibility and fewer driver issues than older Chinese GPUs, though stability and driver software still need work (stuttering, frame pacing, settings reset).
    – No ray tracing and software ecosystem is underdeveloped (minimal control panel, overclock resets), impacting advanced features and long-term usability.
    – Pricing (~$485) positions it close to faster competitors, making value dependent on demand for compatibility over peak performance.


    Overview of the Lisuan LX 7G100 Graphics Card

    Fully detailed months ago, a Lisuan LX 7G100 graphics card has now been put through early independent gaming benchmarks. Built on Lisuan Tech’s in-house TrueGPU architecture, the card reportedly fully supports DirectX 12 and modern AAA titles without the severe driver issues that plagued earlier Chinese GPUs. The LX 7G100 model teste comes equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and uses a 6 nm GPU chip known as the 7G106. In real-world gaming tests at 1080p, the card manages 56 FPS in Black Myth: Wukong, 57 FPS in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, 80 FPS in Elden Ring, 150 FPS in Grand Theft Auto V, and 182 FPS in Dota 2. In Cyberpunk 2077 with FSR3 Quality mode and frame generation enabled, the GPU averages around 88 FPS.

    Performance Against Mainstream Competitors

    While those numbers are enough for playable gameplay, the card still falls roughly 30% behind mainstream competitors like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and Intel Arc B580, and in poorly supported games, the performance gap widens further, with competing GPUs delivering two to three times higher frame rates. The hardware itself also lacks ray tracing support, with Lisuan planning to add it only in future GPU generations.

    Software and Compatibility

    Reviewers say the biggest improvement compared to older Chinese GPUs is game compatibility. Modern titles launch and run without major issues or months of waiting for driver fixes. However, the software side still needs work. Testers reported stuttering, inconsistent frame pacing, a nearly empty driver control panel, and overclock settings resetting after every reboot.

    Pricing and Market Position

    Pricing may be the hardest sell for the LX 7G100. In China, the Founders Edition is listed at around ~$485, putting it close to much faster alternatives from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel.
