Chinese GPU maker sells out over 30,000 gaming GPUs within 48 hours despite lukewarm benchmarks — LX 7G100 proves hype trumps performance
Chinese GPU manufacturer Lisuan Tech has achieved significant early success with its LX 7G100 gaming graphics card, selling over 30,000 units in preorders within 48 hours. Despite benchmarks indicating performance comparable to older generation cards and a price point higher than its performance suggests, the company generated over $14.55 million in advance sales. This rapid sell-out highlights consumer interest in market alternatives and the effectiveness of Lisuan Tech's marketing, including a limited Founders Edition that also sold out quickly. AI
