While no longer cutting edge a GTX 1080 is still a very capable GPU, I can see many applications for another GPU with similar performance, complete with an official Chinese government snoopy prize

It is unlikely to be sold outside china
The performance leap in one generation is massive ( GeForce GT 640 (JM7200's) performance to a 1080) colour me surprised if this is true.

hey, even if you "acquire" the blueprints, it still takes time & effort to actually manufacture the knock-offs.

beign china they likely reverse engineer others gpu's to take shortcuts (i mean they are known to steal tech publicly)

I would not have believed they could reverse engineer the 1080 so fast, (or what ever card they copied the tech from). But it will have the Government Mandated back door in its firmware. It could help to push other graphics designers to accelerate their advances.

Its a pretty common thing even among US companies to see how your competitor does something, doesnt mean youll copy it exactly, but it might give you some ideas to look elsewhere or tweak your own designs. The problem with China is they have tended to just straight up copy, often without a firm grasp of the underlying engineering, so they find themselves kind of stuck in a continual cycle of copying to get better tech, granted thats been changing recently, but its still their recent past. Honestly they wouldnt be the first country to get a jump start like that, Japan and South Korea got started on their tech runs in the same way. As for the back doors, yeahhhh they're still pretty obvious about how they implement those, spectre and meltdown took a while to be discovered .

No DX12 support? No thanks. Especially considering the origin.
NVIDIA and AMD are at least reputable and here to stay. Nvidia (and AMD) provide frequent software, drivers, updates, notes. This should be more than enough reasons NOT to purchase these jangjin knock-off cards and rather stick to what is solid and safe.

I wanna see them create an NVIDIA Ansel knock-off, then they can be even considered worthy to be disqualified thereafter.

because this is most like not made for gaming purposes.

one thing I want to point out, this GPU doesn't seem to support Direct X, so most likely you won't be able to play games that needs Direct X support

even with opengl support they most likely did not do any kind of testing to make it run opengl games.

Did you simply assumed that or do you have proof to back the intention up?

majority games on PC are made for windows. the lack of DirectX support is very telling. and many pro rendering application still using OpenGL. that's why this thing are made to work with opengl. the decision to support opengl most likely so this GPU can run those pro app not games. china end up copying a lot of other people tech but rest assured gaming GPU market is most likely a market that they did not want to deal with even if they have the expertise making their own GPU.

Yea China is big on mobile gaming anyway, doubt they have interest in desk.
