Chinese GPU startup sells 30,000 cards despite lagging 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.
