A official company website and a photo from one chinese forum show a previously unknown desktop graphics card in the Heaven-Benchmark. The manufacturer is Glenfly, which sea Toms Hardware working for the big Chinese name Zhaoxin.
How fast is the graphics card? The pictures show different points from the Heaven benchmark. In one case the GPU comes to 32 FPS, in the other to 22 FPS. In our experience, this is a fairly typical difference in performance for the scenes shown.
Assuming maximum details in Full HD, the performance of the Chinese GPU is a bit below that of a Geforce GTX 1050. However, classifying comparisons with other hardware are only possible to a very limited extent because we do not know any key data such as the quality settings or the remaining components of the system .
You can find a general overview of the performance of different graphics cards including the GTX 1050 in our sorting of over 50 current and older models according to performance classes:

Post-processing reveals interesting detail
On closer inspection, the comparison between the two photos also turns out to be interesting. For the official website, not only was the mess of cables cleared up a bit, but the manufacturer’s name and model name of the monitor were also made unrecognizable.
Accordingly, it is the Full HD monitor BenQ G2220HD. This suggests that the benchmark was also carried out in a resolution of 1920×1080, but that is not certain.
How is the performance of the graphics card to be classified?
If we assume that this is real performance data and not a fake, the result is quite remarkable.
At first glance, it doesn’t sound very impressive to achieve roughly the performance of an entry-level GPU from 2016 in 2021. But you shouldn’t forget how difficult it is to catch up with the (with the exception of Intel) practically unrivaled top dogs AMD and Nvidia in this very specialized environment with high technical and logistical requirements.
Another important factor: Many popular games such as League of Legends or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive do not make very high demands on the performance of the hardware.
Regardless of this, it remains to be seen for the time being how far advanced the graphics card shown in the pictures really is in its development, whether it will ever be launched and, if so, in which countries.
