Microsoft WHQL certification — LX 7G100 GPU joins Nvidia, AMD, and Intel.
It is one of the first fully domestic designs aiming at the gaming market (beyond basic or professional/workstation cards). The company claims it uses a self-developed TrueGPU (Tiantu) architecture. Launched around mid-May 2026 (pre-orders/availability in China), with strong initial demand it reportedly sold out quickly despite mixed reviews, driven by national self-reliance efforts amid U.S. export restrictions.Specifications
- GPU: 7G106 (or similar variant in the G100 family), monolithic die on TSMC 6nm (N6) process.
- Memory: 12GB GDDR6 (192-bit bus in many reports).
- Power: Up to ~225W TDP (single 8-pin connector); real-world draw around 200W under load in some tests. Recommended PSU often listed around 750W.
- Interface: PCIe 4.0 x16.
- Outputs: Typically 4x DisplayPort 1.4a (no HDMI in some descriptions); supports up to 8K60 HDR.
- API Support: DirectX 12, Vulkan, OpenGL 4.6, OpenCL 3.0; FreeSync compatible.
- Other: Triple-fan cooler on the reference/Founders Edition design.
Performance
Real-world gaming performance lands roughly around an RTX 3060 level (or slightly below in many titles), with decent compatibility for modern games (100+ titles supported at launch).
- It falls short of NVIDIA's RTX 4060 (often 30-70% slower in games like Cyberpunk 2077, depending on settings and resolution).
- Early synthetic benchmarks were more competitive, but game tests show gaps, partly attributed to driver immaturity (similar to Intel Arc's early days).
- It handles 1080p/1440p gaming reasonably well with few crashes reported in reviews, but it lacks strong ray tracing hardware/features compared to competitors.
Would we be able to get this from our Brics buddy on low tariffs?
