Chinese GPU maker, GITSTAR, has introduced a brand-new graphics card known as the JH920 which it claims is faster than NVIDIA's GTX 1050 with support for AMD's FSR.
According to the official specs sheet shared by GITSTAR, the JH920 comes with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory that runs across a 64-bit bus interface, delivering 96 GB/s of bandwidth. The graphics configuration or GPU variant isn't mentioned except the clock speed which is rated at 1.2 GHz. Computing power is rated at 1.2 TFLOPs (FP32). Previous GITSTAR GPUs have used the graphics chips from Chinese GPU maker, Jing Jiawei, so that might as well be the case with the JH920.
The GITSTAR JH920 comes with a Mini-ITX design that features a single fan in a dual-slot form factor that measures 173.29x126.35x41.89mm. The card consumes just 30W of power which means that it doesn't require any external power connector to boot. Besides that, you get support for OpenGL 4.0, Vulkan 1.1, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3.0 APIs. There's no mention of DirectX support. The graphics card also features HEVC (H.265) Encode & H.264 modes with support for up to four 4K60 displays with four HDMI 2.0 ports.
The Chinese GPU maker officially states that the GITSTAR JH920 is faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 and should be very affordable when it launches later this month. One big feature of the card is support for AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution or FSR which is mentioned in the introductory video. The card is said to support all modes for even higher performance versus the native render. Besides that, the card also offers support within various content creation applications such as PS or Photoshop.
While details on its GPU remain grim, if the card can actually manage to hit performance numbers that compete with the NVIDIA GTX 1050 and support the latest applications without issues, that'll be a great start for GITSTAR and the Chinese domestic GPU makret though we have seen time after time how Chinese GPU makers promise a lot but fail to deliver even the basic functionalities on their cards. Looking at you Moore Threads.

You may know Inkle from interactive storygames like 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, Overboard!, and the Steve Jackson's Sorcery! Series. All of these games were made with Ink, a scripting language the studio created that uses markup instead of script, and came with Unity integration built-in. Given how badly Unity dropped the ball then also tripped over the ball then ate the ball while rolling around in dirt this year, it makes sense developers with an interest in using Ink might want to divorce it from Unity.
80 Days, Heaven's Vault and the Sorcery! games were all created by Inkle using their own scripting language, called Ink. It's a powerful tool for creating game narrative using simple markup rather than code, and it's open source so it can be used by other developers.
With the US's new trade policy reaching official implementation, NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang has reacted to the decision, stating that it will have an "adverse" effect on the mainland China market.
The first Intel Meteor Lake CPU-powered handheld gaming console has been revealed by Emdoor & features an Arc-integrated GPU.
The US has blocked Nvidia from selling the GeForce RTX 4090 PC graphics card to China as part of an export ban intended to thwart the country from securing cutting-edge AI chips.
