China's flagship GPU Lisuan LX 7G100 struggles to catch aging Nvidia RTX 3060 in new test

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
