China finally put a consumer gaming GPU on store shelves, and buyers didn’t hesitate. Lisuan Technology’s LX 7G100 moved over 30,000 pre-order units within 48 hours of going live on JD.com, generating more than $14.5 million in advance sales. The first batch is sold out. Broader retail availability is confirmed for June 18 via JD.com, timed to China’s annual 618 shopping festival.
The card itself is a proper first. Lisuan is only the fourth GPU maker to earn Microsoft WHQL certification, joining Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, and is the first Chinese company to do so. That matters because every previous Chinese GPU attempt stumbled on software, not hardware. WHQL means stable, Windows-signed drivers from day one.
Lisuan has also published WHQL driver v29.0.2260.76 and a 40-game recommended settings guide, including suggested graphics presets, API modes, and upscaling options, available through their driver center at lisuantech.com. That kind of launch support is uncommon for a new GPU vendor.
Early tests on the Founders Edition show the card priced at around 3,300 RMB (about PHP 27,000 or USD 480) and running many modern titles, but it can’t compete with similarly priced cards from established vendors. Benchmarks show it averages roughly 65% of RTX 3060 performance at 1080p, with the five-year-old RTX 3060 holding a 40% or more lead in several titles. In Cyberpunk 2077, the LX 7G100 averaged 88 fps while the RTX 4060 hit 232 fps and Intel’s Arc B580 reached 243 fps.
There is no hardware ray tracing. Lisuan says this is planned for second-generation GPUs. Reviewers also noted that the driver panel has limited usable options, and the Founders Edition overclocking mode resets after each reboot, along with stuttering and poor frame-pacing in games. These can be patched, but they are real issues at launch.
Worth knowing about the Founders Edition specifically: it was a limited run of only 1,000 units, each with a unique serial number, making it a collector’s item for the early adopter crowd. The 30,000+ pre-orders were for the standard retail version.
Lisuan now ranks sixth on JD.com among electronics sellers, behind Asus, Colorful, Gigabyte, and MSI. For a company founded in 2021 that almost went bankrupt in 2024, that is not a small thing.
For Philippine buyers, there is no local availability and no word on an international release. If you want one, it goes through Lisuan’s self-operated JD.com store, with the next batch dropping June 18.

Is 30,000 sold-out units the validation China’s GPU industry needed, even if the benchmarks don’t quite back the price up? Would you pick this up at PHP 27,000 knowing what the numbers say?
