AMD ’s forthcoming programme for GPU releases have beencalled into query recently , and now , there ’s some more grounds that the company ’s GPUs are beginning to lose momentum .

As point out byHardware Unboxed on X ( formerly Twitter ) , MSI is slowly removing itemisation of AMD Radeon GPUs , specifically the 7000 serial , from online retailers . Additionally , all existing products have been discontinued and the company never managed to release models for theRadeon RX 7700 XT and the 7800 XT .

Did I omit this story ? MSI has been completely remove from AMD's Radeon 7000 serial publication , all existing products have been stop and they never released a 7700 XT/7800 XT . This all seems to have happen very restfully .

MSI has been a striking instrumentalist in the play hardware arena , and by the looks of it , the party has made a decisive move toward embrace Nvidia ’s RTX graphic circuit card .

This was n’t just an observation , though . Hardwareluxx , a German tech site , reached out to MSI and received a response regarding their focus . MSI stated : “ When it comes to graphics cards , our focus at the moment is actually more on RTX card . Nevertheless , the collaboration with AMD is all-important and super relevant for us . We see a very positively charged development , particularly in the region of mainboards . ”

Although the statement does not explicitly state a discontinuation of Radeon graphics cards , MSI ’s recent actions imply otherwise . The move also importantly departs from MSI ’s long - standing loyalty to AMD and could think of more problem for Team Red in its fight against Nvidia .

If we look at the recentSteam hardwaresurvey from March 2024 , AMD is not even close to competing with Nvidia ’s RTX 40 - series GPUs . Interestingly , the expensive and oversized RTX 4090 , which is one of Nvidia ’s most corner consumer - grade art carte du jour on the market , is more popular than any other GPU from AMD . What that mean is a majority of consumers are unforced to pass upwards of $ 1,500 instead of buying a cheaper Radeon graphics card .

Some of the potential factors driving MSI ’s determination could be the competitive advantage offer by Nvidia ’s RTX series GPUs , particularly beam tracing , DLSS , and overall performance metrics . Another reason could be wanting to adapt to market trends and technological advancements .

Whatever may be the lawsuit , if MSI really does specify to wholly pull out from produce Radeon GPUs , it ’s certainly an ominous sign for AMD .
