Lisuan’s 7G106 GPU is making waves as China’s first 6nm graphics card to rival NVIDIA’s RTX 4060 both in benchmarks and raw in-game performance. Built to serve both gaming and AI workloads, the chip signals China’s growing grip on domestic tech independence.

7G106 hits 70 FPS at 4K in major Chinese titles

Lisuan’s new 7G106 isn’t just a lab demo. It ran modern Chinese-developed AAA games like Faith of Danschant and Boundary above 70 FPS at 4K, delivering smooth gameplay on par with mainstream Western GPUs. Those results were verified using in-house benchmarks and real-game captures during Lisuan’s recent launch event.

While these figures reflect titles optimized for local hardware, they show that China’s GPU sector is catching up not just in architecture, but in practical usability.

China’s first 6nm gaming GPU packs serious numbers

The 7G106 uses TSMC’s 6nm process and delivers:

• 24.0 TFLOPS FP32 compute power
• 12GB GDDR6 memory
• Up to 192-bit memory bus
• Support for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4
• Hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI inference

That puts it squarely in competition with the NVIDIA RTX 4060, especially for gaming and AI hybrid use. It also avoids U.S.-controlled tech blocks by using a fully domestic design stack.

7G106 benchmarks square up with RTX 4060

Synthetic test comparisons showed the 7G106 either matching or edging past the RTX 4060 in several compute-heavy tests. This includes tasks like TensorRT inferencing, AI post-processing, and Vulkan-based workloads.

Lisuan didn’t name third-party benchmarking tools, but shared side-by-side synthetic charts. These placed the 7G106 within 5–10% of NVIDIA’s mainstream card across most loads sometimes pulling ahead, especially in AI compute.

Beyond gaming: AI performance is front and center

Lisuan’s launch wasn’t just about frame rates. The company stressed its dual-purpose design philosophy targeting data inference, smart vision, and edge AI alongside gaming. The 7G106 and its siblings support mixed-precision FP16/INT8 operations and are optimized for large model deployment on local inference engines.

That dual support isn’t just a design flex. It gives the GPU broader appeal in China’s push for data sovereignty and hardware independence across sectors.

More homegrown GPUs are on the way

Lisuan also teased two lower-tier GPUs: the 7G102 and 7G105. These will likely target entry-level gaming and workstation needs. All cards use the same 6nm node and GDDR6 memory, suggesting the company plans a full-stack rollout.

Each board was shown in a triple-fan configuration, with copper heatpipes and power connectors similar to what you’d see in midrange GeForce or Radeon models.

China’s tech race is heating up and this time it’s real

Lisuan’s 7G106 doesn’t just look the part. It performs in modern engines, benchmarks against global competition, and runs on a node China can keep sourcing. That’s more than symbolism it’s a serious step toward GPU autonomy.

The age of imported dominance is cracking. This time, silicon sovereignty might actually stick.
