ARM is quickly growing into a full-blown x86 competitor in almost every market; however, one market it has not touched yet is full-blown gaming rigs with discrete GPUs. We could see this change in the future, though. IT Home reports that Chinese GPU maker Lisuan has created a 3D driver for one of its consumer GPU models that provides 3D acceleration in the ARM version of Windows 11.
A video on Bilibili showed a Lisuan 7G106 graphics card hooked up to an ARM-based system featuring an ARM-based 12-core CP8180 CPU. The video showed the system running 3DMark's Steel Nomad benchmark along with Task Manager on top, showing that the GPU clearly has 3D acceleration support within the ARM version of Windows 11. Furthermore, dxdiag was also shown to reveal DX12 support in the driver.
