BEIJING, Jan 2, 2026 – Chinese tech startup Lisuan has officially entered the competitive graphics market with the Lisuan G100 GPU, its first consumer-grade gaming graphics card. The company aims to position it as a domestic rival to NVIDIA and AMD, leveraging both architectural innovation and national support.

The G100 is built on a 6nm domestic process node, marking a shift from China’s historical reliance on TSMC and foreign GPU architectures. According to Lisuan, the card delivers 24 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance and supports DirectX 12, PCIe 5.0, and Windows on ARM, technical milestones that highlight its architectural ambition.

Initial benchmarks, however, tell a more restrained story. An alleged Geek bench OpenCL result shows a score of 15,524, placing it alongside the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, a GPU from 2012. Leaked specifications suggest the card runs on 32 Compute Units, a 300 MHz clock speed, and 256 MB video memory, indicating this may be an early engineering sample rather than a finished product.

Despite modest performance, Lisuan’s strategy appears long-term. By focusing on driver maturity and software optimization, the company seeks to refine its platform through iterative development. The G100 is also launching into a favorable environment: under China’s Xinchuang initiative, millions of government systems are being transitioned to domestic hardware, creating a captive market for emerging tech vendors like Lisuan.

While international availability remains uncertain, Lisuan’s entry signals China’s growing capacity to build functional graphics processing units from silicon to software.
