MSI Says Its More Focused On NVIDIA RTX GPUs Than AMD Radeon, Red Team Relevant In Motherboards

MSI seems to be focusing more on NVIDIA's RTX GPUs than AMD's Radeon GPUs as the company focuses on products with higher user interest.

MSI Wants To Focus More On NVIDIA RTX GPUs Than AMD Radeon Since They Are More Popular Among Gamers

The discussion on MSI's GPU portfolio broke out when HardwareUnboxed made a post on X highlighting the manufacturer's AMD Radeon GPU portfolio. It was stated that MSI had been completely removed from AMD's Radeon 7000 series & that all of their existing products were discontinued however that's not the full story.

MSI is one of the three major AIB partners of NVIDIA and AMD. The company has offered diverse products for both camps in the past. MSI was indeed very late to bring out its AMD Radeon RX 7000 GPUs in the form of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX & RX 7900 XT but they did launch them and they are available at US retailers at the moment.

These retailers might have the last remaining stock of these GPUs but there's no official confirmation regarding a discontinuation. The last of the MSI RX 7000 GPUs was the Radeon RX 7600 and the company didn't introduce any RX 7800 XT or 7700 XT models however the reason is something very different.

MSI, just like many other AIBs, have to work with smaller margins on GPUs and they have to decide whether a product is meaningful for them and if there's enough demand in the market.

Besides the Radeon RX 7900 GRE which recently saw a global release, the RX 7800 XT, RX 7700 XT, and RX 7600 XT were all positioned in the sub-$500 US price range but it looks like NVIDIA's RTX 40 GPUs & even older RTX 30 / RX 6000 GPUs have been more popular among gamers. Following are the Radeon RX 7000 GPUs offered by MSI:

• Radeon RX 7900 XTX Gaming Trio Classic
• Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming Trio Classic
• Radeon RX 7600 MECH 2X Classic OC
• Radeon RX 7600 MECH 2X Classic

That's why the company is simply focusing on other products rather
