China’s Lisuan LX 7G100 GPU barely outpaces AMD’s nine‑year‑old Radeon RX 580 in benchmarks
The newly released Lisuan LX 7G100 — China’s latest in‑house gaming GPU — manages just a 5 percent edge over AMD’s 2017‑vintage Radeon RX 580 in PCGH’s 14‑game benchmark, while lagging significantly behind Nvidia’s RTX 2060 and newer models.

What happened
China’s Lisuan Tech has released its second self‑developed gaming graphics card, the LX 7G100, launched in June 2026. Independent testing by PC Games Hardware (PCGH) shows its overall gaming performance is only marginally better than the Radeon RX 580 from 2017, offering around a 5 percent improvement on average. Meanwhile, it trails the GeForce RTX 2060 by up to 65 percent and falls even further behind newer mid‑range GPUs like Nvidia’s RTX 5050.
Details that matter
Performance data from PCGH’s 14‑game test suite places the LX 7G100 slightly ahead of the RX 580, but well behind modern GPUs—even the entry‑level RTX 5050 delivers more than twice the frame rate. It lacks hardware support for ray tracing and AI‑matrix functions, and suffers from driver issues—PCGH could only run 14 out of 20 games tested, with some showing instability or graphical glitches.
Power efficiency is also poor: idle draw reaches about 59 W, compared to roughly 10 W for the RTX 2060 and just 6 W for AMD’s RX 6600.Other outlets confirm similar findings: benchmarks consistently place the LX 7G100 near RX 580 levels, while trailing the RTX 2060 by about 35 percent.
What it means for someone buying in India
In the Indian market, the Lisuan LX 7G100 isn’t available officially and offers little incentive even if it were. Its performance is roughly on par with what was widely accessible in India nearly a decade ago—such as second‑hand RX 580 or entry‑level GTX 1060 cards. For a modern mid‑range build, it would sit below RX 6600 or RTX 2060 levels.
Who should care: Hobbyists tracking the emergence of Chinese GPU makers might find it interesting as a technical milestone. It shows progress in domestic GPU development, driver support and compatibility, compared to earlier attempts.
Who should not: Indian gamers or PC builders seeking practical value. Without ray tracing, with driver maturity still lagging, and better options widely available through AMD, Nvidia or even Intel, the LX 7G100 holds little appeal. Placing it in a mid‑range build makes little sense when far more efficient, tested, and supported GPUs are already sold in India.
