NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation vs Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data presents an unusual asymmetry. The NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation has a full suite of recorded measurements across eight distinct tests, while the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA has no recorded benchmark scores at all. The database shows zero wins for either part in direct head-to-head tests, as no shared benchmark results exist between the two.

For the RTX 5880 Ada Generation, the recorded data shows where its strengths concentrate. The PassMark G3D score of 25,096 and the Geekbench OpenCL score of 326,898 are the two highest individual results in its profile. These indicate strong general 3D rendering and compute acceleration capabilities. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 14,208 further confirms compute-oriented workloads as a clear strength. The DirectX 9 score of 335 and DirectX 10 score of 167 suggest legacy API performance remains functional but is not the primary focus, while the DirectX 12 score of 70 and DirectX 11 score of 228 show a mixed pattern across modern API generations.

The LX ULTRA has no wins because it has no measurements. The database lists its average benchmark score as 0 and its percentile ranking as 50, which is the default baseline for an unmeasured part. Its nearest rivals list is empty. Any use-case analysis for this card must rely entirely on its architectural specifications rather than observed performance.

The practical split is therefore straightforward: the RTX 5880 Ada Generation wins every measurable category by default, and the LX ULTRA can only be assessed on paper. Users seeking verified performance data have exactly one option between these two.

Architecture Differences

The two cards diverge at the most fundamental level. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation uses the AD102 chip built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 76,300 million transistors packed into a 609 mm² die. The transistor density works out to 125.3 million transistors per square millimeter. The LX ULTRA uses a chip designated 7G105, built on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. Its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so no density figure can be derived.

The RTX 5880 Ada Generation belongs to the Ada Lovelace architecture, specifically the Workstation Ada generation. The LX ULTRA uses an architecture called TrueGPU, belonging to a generation labeled 7G100. These are entirely separate design lineages with no shared architectural heritage.

The compute resources differ substantially. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation carries 14,080 shading units, 440 texture mapping units, and 176 raster operation units. It also includes 110 ray tracing cores and 440 tensor cores. The LX ULTRA has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Its ray tracing core count and tensor core count are listed as null, meaning the database has no information on whether these units exist.

Clock behavior also differs. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation has a base clock of 975 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz. The LX ULTRA has no recorded base or boost clock values. Memory clocks are identical at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective bandwidth. Both cards use GDDR6 memory and a 384-bit bus on the RTX side versus a 192-bit bus on the LX side, which directly affects bandwidth.

The RTX 5880 Ada Generation achieves 69.27 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, indicating a 1:1 ratio. The LX ULTRA delivers 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 but 49.15 TFLOPS FP16, showing a 2:1 ratio. This means the LX ULTRA dedicates half its shader throughput to FP16 work, while the RTX part maintains equal throughput across both precisions.

API support shows one difference: the RTX 5880 Ada Generation supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX ULTRA supports Vulkan 1.3. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No direct head-to-head benchmark results exist in the database. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty, and both winsA and winsB are recorded as 0. This means there are no shared test scores to compare.

The RTX 5880 Ada Generation's nearest rivals provide context for its performance tier, even without LX ULTRA data. Its average benchmark score is 45,972. The closest rival is the NVIDIA RTX A2000 with an average score of 46,043, a delta of -0.2 percent, meaning the RTX 5880 Ada Generation trails by a negligible margin. The Intel Arc A730M scores 45,592, putting the RTX 5880 Ada Generation 0.8 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45,384, a 1.3 percent gap in favor of the RTX 5880 Ada Generation. The AMD Radeon RX 5600M scores 46,601, leaving the RTX 5880 Ada Generation 1.4 percent behind.

These deltas are all within a narrow band of roughly 1.5 percent in either direction. The data shows the RTX 5880 Ada Generation sits in a tightly contested performance cluster despite its much larger memory capacity and higher compute specifications. Its percentile ranking of 85 against all GPUs places it above the median but not at the top of the distribution.

Since the LX ULTRA has no scores, no direct comparison of measured performance is possible. The only quantitative comparison available is between the RTX 5880 Ada Generation and its four nearest rivals, none of which is the LX ULTRA.

The Verdict

The data presents an unambiguous choice for anyone requiring verified performance. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation has eight recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 45,972, and a percentile ranking of 85 against all GPUs. The LX ULTRA has zero recorded scores, an average of 0, and a baseline percentile of 50. Every measurable specification also favors the RTX part.

The RTX 5880 Ada Generation doubles the memory capacity and bandwidth, more than doubles the FP32 throughput, and provides ray tracing and tensor cores that the LX ULTRA cannot confirm. Its 69.27 TFLOPS FP32 output is supported by 14,080 shading units, while the LX ULTRA's 6,144 shading units produce 24.58 TFLOPS. The pixel rate of 433.0 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s and the texture rate of 1,082.4 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s show substantial advantages in rasterization throughput as well.

The LX ULTRA does have some points of comparison. Its 24 GB memory capacity is substantial, its 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 output indicates a deliberate focus on half-precision workloads, and its 225 W TDP is 60 W lower than the RTX part. The 6 nm process node is one generation behind the RTX part's 5 nm node, but the unknown transistor count and die size prevent any density analysis.

The release dates differ by over two years, with the RTX 5880 Ada Generation launching on 2024-01-04 and the LX ULTRA on 2026-03-16. The RTX part has a known predecessor in Workstation Ampere and a known successor in Blackwell PRO W, while the LX ULTRA has neither.

The database shows one card with a complete, measurable profile and one card that exists only as a specification sheet. For any workload where verified performance matters, the RTX 5880 Ada Generation is the only option with supporting data. For workloads that specifically require FP16 throughput at the expense of FP32, the LX ULTRA's 2:1 ratio is the only distinguishing feature, but without benchmark confirmation, even that advantage remains theoretical.
