NVIDIA Switch 2 GPU vs Lisuan Tech LX PRO Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two GPUs cleanly by design intent. The NVIDIA Switch 2 GPU is a console-class part built for a fixed thermal and power envelope. Its 40 W TDP, 12 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth define it as a power-constrained mobile solution. The Lisuan Tech LX PRO is a desktop add-in board with a 225 W TDP, 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The LX PRO is designed for sustained, high-throughput workloads on a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface with a 550 W suggested PSU.

The Switch 2 GPU wins in portability and integration. It has no display outputs, meaning it is a pure embedded graphics solution for a handheld console. Its dimensions are 272 mm by 116 mm by 14 mm, which is a slim profile that fits inside a compact chassis. The LX PRO, at 248 mm by 118 mm by 48 mm, is a dual-slot card with four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, designed for external monitors and multi-display setups.

The LX PRO wins on raw compute scale. Its shading unit count of 6144 is four times the Switch 2 GPU's 1536. Texture mapping units stand at 192 versus 48, and raster operations pipelines at 96 versus 16. The LX PRO also has a 192-bit memory bus versus the Switch 2 GPU's 128-bit bus, and its 24 GB frame buffer doubles the 12 GB capacity of the console GPU.

The architecture split shows neither part dominates the other in every category. The Switch 2 GPU implements 12 RT cores and 48 Tensor cores, giving it hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI inference capabilities. The LX PRO lists no RT cores and no Tensor cores in the database, so its feature set relies on conventional rasterization and compute. The Switch 2 GPU supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX PRO supports Vulkan 1.3. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different foundries and process nodes. The NVIDIA Switch 2 GPU uses the GA10B chip built on Samsung's 8 nm process, with a die size of 200 mm². The Lisuan Tech LX PRO uses the 7G105 chip built on TSMC's 6 nm process. The database lists transistor counts as unknown for both parts, so density comparisons cannot be made from recorded data.

Clock behavior differs sharply. The Switch 2 GPU has a base clock of 561 MHz and a boost clock of 1400 MHz. The LX PRO has no base or boost clock listed in the database. Memory clocks also diverge: the Switch 2 GPU runs its LPDDR5X at 800 MHz effective 6.4 Gbps, while the LX PRO runs GDDR6 at 2250 MHz effective 18 Gbps. The LX PRO memory clock is nearly three times higher in effective transfer rate.

Memory capacity and type reflect different design goals. The Switch 2 GPU uses 12 GB of LPDDR5X on a 128-bit bus. The LX PRO uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus. Bandwidth scales accordingly: 102.4 GB/s for the Switch 2 GPU versus 432.0 GB/s for the LX PRO. The LX PRO delivers 4.2 times the memory bandwidth of the Switch 2 GPU.

Compute throughput differs by a factor of roughly 5.7 in FP32. The Switch 2 GPU delivers 4.301 TFLOPS, while the LX PRO delivers 24.58 TFLOPS. FP16 performance follows the same 2:1 ratio for both: 8.602 TFLOPS for the Switch 2 GPU and 49.15 TFLOPS for the LX PRO. Pixel and texture rates show similar gaps. The Switch 2 GPU produces 22.40 GPixel/s and 67.20 GTexel/s. The LX PRO produces 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. The LX PRO is 8.6 times faster in pixel fill and 5.7 times faster in texture fill.

The Switch 2 GPU has no bus interface listed, while the LX PRO uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The LX PRO requires a 16-pin power connector and a 550 W suggested PSU. The Switch 2 GPU lists no power connectors or PSU requirement, consistent with a soldered console part. The LX PRO has a dual-slot cooler footprint; the Switch 2 GPU's cooler design is not specified in the database.

Both parts are marked as Active in production status. The Switch 2 GPU has a release date of 2025-06-04 and a launch MSRP of 449 USD. The LX PRO has a later release date of 2026-03-16 and no launch MSRP recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pair, and neither part has individual benchmark scores or nearest rivals listed. The analysis therefore relies on specification-derived metrics recorded in the database.

The largest single advantage for the LX PRO is in FP32 compute. At 24.58 TFLOPS, it delivers 5.7 times the Switch 2 GPU's 4.301 TFLOPS. This gap matters for compute-heavy workloads such as physics simulation, video encoding, or scientific rendering. The Switch 2 GPU's Tensor cores and RT cores provide specialized paths that the LX PRO lacks, but the database records no benchmark scores to quantify those advantages.

Memory bandwidth is the second major gap. The LX PRO's 432.0 GB/s is 4.2 times the Switch 2 GPU's 102.4 GB/s. With a 192-bit bus and 18 Gbps effective memory speed, the LX PRO can feed its 6144 shading units far more effectively. The Switch 2 GPU's 128-bit bus and 6.4 Gbps effective speed constrain its 1536 shading units, which is appropriate for a 40 W power budget.

Pixel throughput shows the widest relative difference. The LX PRO's 192.0 GPixel/s is 8.6 times the Switch 2 GPU's 22.40 GPixel/s. This affects fill-rate-bound scenarios like high-resolution rendering with heavy overdraw. Texture rate is 5.7 times higher on the LX PRO at 384.0 GTexel/s versus 67.20 GTexel/s.

The Switch 2 GPU counters with a much lower power draw. At 40 W, it uses 17.8 percent of the LX PRO's 225 W TDP. This enables the console form factor and battery operation. The LX PRO's 225 W TDP requires external cooling and a desktop power supply.

Release timing also differs. The Switch 2 GPU launched on 2025-06-04, while the LX PRO followed on 2026-03-16. The Switch 2 GPU's launch MSRP of 449 USD is recorded once here as the stated database value.

The Verdict

The data points to two different buyers. The NVIDIA Switch 2 GPU is a 40 W console part with a 200 mm² die on Samsung 8 nm. It uses 12 GB of LPDDR5X and 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth, yet still packs 12 RT cores and 48 Tensor cores. Its 4.301 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 22.40 GPixel/s pixel rate are modest by desktop standards, but its power efficiency allows operation in a handheld device with no display outputs of its own. The 449 USD launch MSRP and 2025-06-04 release date place it as a current-generation console component.

The Lisuan Tech LX PRO is a desktop card for users who need large memory and high throughput. Its 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus provides 432.0 GB/s, and its 6144 shading units deliver 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate are 8.6 and 5.7 times the Switch 2 GPU's respective figures. The 225 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU indicate a full-size desktop installation with a dual-slot cooler and four DisplayPort outputs.

There is no recorded benchmark data for either GPU, and no nearest rivals are listed. The specification comparison shows the LX PRO winning on every raw throughput metric: FP32, FP16, pixel fill, texture fill, memory capacity, memory bandwidth, shading units, TMUs, and ROPs. The Switch 2 GPU wins on power draw, physical size, and the presence of dedicated RT and Tensor cores. It also supports a newer Vulkan version, 1.4 versus 1.3.

The verdict from the data: the LX PRO is the higher-performance part for desktop rendering and compute tasks, with a 5.7 times advantage in FP32 and 4.2 times in memory bandwidth. The Switch 2 GPU is the only one of the two that fits a 40 W thermal envelope, and it is the only one with hardware ray tracing and tensor acceleration. Users who need a console-integrated GPU with AI and RT features should choose the Switch 2 GPU. Users who need maximum raster throughput, large frame buffers, and multi-monitor output should choose the LX PRO. No benchmark scores exist to rank them against the broader GPU market, and both sit at the 50th percentile in the database's overall distribution, which reflects the absence of measured performance data rather than a performance equivalence.
