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 than dropping out of the AMD Radeon bandwagon. This much seems to be confirmed in a response by MSI provided to HardwareLuxx:
MSI is indeed a major player in the AIB segment but we have previously seen AIBs drop specific brands due to similar reasons or as partnerships made by the big GPU vendors. XFX went AMD-only while ASRock, despite offering both AMD & Intel GPUs, has yet to hop on the NVIDIA train but the company did say it plans on going that route once it makes sense.
Similarly, there have been reports of several small-scale AMD AIBs dropping out of business or going bankrupt due to poor sales in the Asia Pacific region, mainly China.
MSI isn't saying that they'll stop offering AMD Radeon GPUs but they are more focused on the NVIDIA

An avid Minecraft player makes a stunning Wild West town in the game that's heavily inspired by a title from a certain popular gaming franchise. With how boundless the creativity of the Minecraft community truly is, as builds like these continue to show, it's no wonder why Mojang's hit sandbox game remains relevant more than a decade after its release.
Players are about to get a new influx of free Primogems in if new leaks about Version 4.7 are correct. At the moment, the popular RPG by HoYoverse is in the early stages of Version 4.6. The current patch added a load of content, including new Character Quests, as well as an area to the southern reaches of Fontaine. Of course, the most notable aspect of the current update is the introduction of the playable version of Arlecchino in , which had long been awaited.
Rise of the Ronin may be a little shy over a month out from its release on PlayStation 5, but that isn’t stopping the action RPG's sales from outpacing its spiritual predecessors, Nioh and Nioh 2.
For all long as the Fallout franchise has been around, it has never been set outside of the United States. Of course, its over-the-top, retro-futuristic Americana satirization is a core aspect of what makes Fallout, Fallout, but on new few occasions, large chunks of the series’ fanbase have wondered how locations outside of the US are faring in Fallout’s post-apocalyptic setting, and whether they could fare as suitable settings for a future Fallout game.
Bethesa’s RPGs are typically gargantuan experiences that players end up playing for years and years on end, and while a lot of that is down to their sheer longevity, it can also be attributed to the fact that new instalments in those franchises take an inordinate amount of time to come out. For instance, The Elder Scrolls 6 only entered full production last year, with Skyrim approaching its 13th anniversary. Meanwhile, though the Fallout TV’s show’s success has brought about a sudden uptick in sales and engagement for Bethesda’s Fallout games, the series’ next mainline instalment is several years away, to say the very least.
Wow, remember Starfield? I do, just about, although any interest in it feels like a distant dream now. But not to Todd Howard! The Bethesboss had a chat with Kinda Funny and confirmed that Shattered Space, the first big DLC for the brave little space RPG that could, has a release window of "in the fall". Shattered Space adds new locations and stories and gear, and is the sort of DLC that was announced before the game came out, and you got it bundled with some of the super mega hyper awesome pre-order editions (you can still get it bundled with the Starfield Premium Edition if you want to spend an extra 30 quid).
