MSI, one of the main partners of AMD and Nvidia in the production of video cards, is moving its priorities towards the latter. The decision is not surprising given AMD’s struggles for market share, but it removes Radeon as a key partner and raises questions about the health of the graphics division.
Over the past year, MSI has been moving away from Radeon graphics cards, with the latest model being the Radeon RX 7600. Now that MSI’s Radeon graphics cards run low and MSI itself has removed the Radeon graphics card package from its website, company. a spokesperson said that they are now more focused on Nvidia RTX cards.
Purchase trends show that the Radeon RX 7000 series does not compete with the GeForce RTX 40 series in popularity The GeForce RTX 4090 is more popular among Steam users than any GPU from AMD , indicating that consumers are willing to pay more for Nvidia graphics cards.
However, in the motherboard department, the appeal of Ryzen processors is much better. AMD has proven that it can compete head-to-head with Intel’s flagships and provide long-term support for its sockets.
Despite MSI’s decision, this does not mean the end for Radeon GPUs. AMD still has a stake in the portable gaming PC segment, such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. Also exciting are rumors of integrated GPUs that could replace graphics cards in the future.
