From Tom's Hardware: Chinese graphics card manufacturer Lisuan Tech has proven to the world that you don't need to release one of the best graphics cards to attain commercial success. Although the LX 7G100 graphics card fell short of performance expectations and did not compete directly with the latest generation models, the company nonetheless managed to sell out more than 30,000 preorders. The LX 7G100's remarkable success reflects consumers' appetite for alternatives in a market traditionally dominated by major players like Nvidia and AMD.
The LX 7G100 has an MSRP of $485 in China. With more than 30,000 units already spoken for through preorders, Lisuan Tech has generated over $14.55 million in advance sales. While the exact Bill of Materials (BOM) cost for the LX 7G100 remains undisclosed, the level of early success is a remarkable milestone for Lisuan Tech, a newcomer to the highly competitive graphics card market.
Lisuan Tech’s rapid rise to the spotlight has landed the company in the sixth position among big names on JD.com, China’s leading e-commerce platform for electronics, where it officially sells its products. The brand trails behind established industry giants like Asus, Colorful, Gigabyte, and MSI. The strong sales not only demonstrate effective marketing by Lisuan Tech but also reflect consumer curiosity and willingness to support emerging domestic brands, even if their products are not the highest-performing on the market.
