Final Fantasy 7 Remake Tested as Chinese GPU Debut Nears RTX 3060 Performance

Lisuan Technology has opened pre-orders for its first self-developed GPU, the LX 7G100, with the Founder Edition priced at 3299 yuan. Soon after, Bilibili hardware creator @Yuangu Shidai Zhuangjiyuan published a 1080p test across 18 games, including Final Fantasy VII Remake, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk 2077. The early takeaway is fairly clear: this card has at least crossed the basic line of being playable, even if its launch-state performance is still limited by immature drivers.

For this kind of hardware test, the first thing worth checking is not a benchmark poster but whether the card can handle a familiar lineup of real games. On that front, the LX 7G100 makes a respectable first showing. In most of the tested 1080p titles, it ran smoothly. As Lisuan Technology's first in-house product, it does not look fully unlocked yet, but the foundation is there.

The test bench was high-end enough to keep platform bottlenecks low: a 9800X3D CPU, ROG X870E HERO motherboard, Asgard DDR5 6000 16GB x2 C30 memory, and a ROG Thor 3 1600W power supply. The comparison card was an ASUS TUF 3060 12GB. Under those conditions, the result was straightforward. With launch drivers still lacking full optimization, the LX 7G100 delivered average performance of about two-thirds of an RTX 3060.

That matters because the test spread was not shallow. If your regular games are relatively 1080p-friendly titles such as DOTA 2, World of Warcraft, and Street Fighter 6, this card already looks like more than a mere proof-of-concept that can just light up a display. The coverage also included heavier games such as Black Myth: Wukong, Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Final Fantasy VII Remake, which gives the test some real reference value.

The bigger concern, and the creator explicitly raised it, is launch-stage driver compatibility and incomplete performance tuning. In other words, the spec sheet is only the first impression; long-term feel will depend on later optimization, patches, and game support. In 3DMark Steel Nomad, the LX 7G100 scored 2040, slightly ahead of the RTX 3060 at 1994. That suggests the raw potential is not bad, even if actual gaming performance has not been fully translated yet.

The hardware itself is also worth noting. The LX 7G100 uses Lisuan's in-house TrueGPU architecture, is built on a 6nm process, and comes with 12GB GDDR6 memory. So this is not just a branding exercise; it is a domestically developed GPU now entering the stage where mainstream players can compare it directly with familiar consumer cards.

My buying advice, though, stays cautious. If you want to build a stable gaming PC right now, especially for long-term play across new releases and day-one blockbusters, the 3299 yuan LX 7G100 currently makes more sense for users who are willing to try something new and wait for the drivers to mature. If plug-and-play stability and hassle-free compatibility matter most to you, it is smarter to keep watching and see whether that current two-thirds of an RTX 3060 can move higher with later updates.

More broadly, the most important point here is not whether this single card immediately beats a 3060. It is that a domestically developed GPU has finally reached the point where it can be tested in Elden Ring, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and other mainstream games, rather than remaining stuck at concept renders and spec tables. If driver updates continue and compatibility issues gradually narrow, the LX 7G100 may still have plenty of room to grow after this first showing.
