MSI has been completely removed from AMD’s Radeon 7000 series
Did I miss this story? MSI has been completely removed from AMD's Radeon 7000 series, all existing products have been discontinued and they never released a 7700 XT/7800 XT. This all seems to have happened very quietly.

Oh ok
Well that’s interesting.
Anyone have any ideas?
didnt msi stop producing amd cards 6 years ago?
“Removed” is a weird way to word that they stopped making AMD cards, likely of their own volition.
If sales numbers are any indication, they likely decided to just focus on Nvidia cards instead.
Probably doing the opposite of EVGA or whatever. they went team red and msi is going team green exclusively? lol I don’t hate it.
Good, nice riddance.
They actively took off cooling elements on Radeons since years compared to Nvidia cards.
RX6000 Gen best example. Removed the fuckin coldplate on Radeon and only had pure heatpipe contact where out of the 8 fuckin pipes only 2-3 had contact.
Long time coming.
I hope AMD can replace MSI with EVGA.
thats sad. i used an msi rx580 for years, it was lovely
They dont sell, despite what everyone thinks, in the real world prtty much nobody buys Radeon cards, the steam hardware survey is a perfect representation of this, when cards like 5000/6000/7000 series are still behind a 4090 – an halo product. And dont come with the “steam hardware survey isnt perfect, maybe amd cards did not get surveid.” This goes both ways, and if 4090 is ahead of 5000/6000 cards that literally had years to get surveid while a 4090 has little over a year, man, this only proves that nobody cares about radeon, well, atleast everyone around me, and in my country in general, radeon is know for s***ing and be a pain in the ass to deal with.
Edit: Seems like i offended alot of people, sorry, its just the reallity, keep donwvoting, it doesnt change facts.
I have no knowledge about stuff like this so please bear with me – I’m about to buy a 7900 GRE would these news have any impact on prices, software support etc?
Not shocking tbh, msi seems doesnt really care about their radeon lineup in the last 2-3 generation (no highend cooler like suprim, old model gaming x trio for example)
When I bought a 7900xt I had 2 brands in mind and MSI wasn’t in my thought process.
Those motherboards they make though different story.
MSI either just don’t care for AMD, or have some sort of shady deal with Nvidia. IIRC a good amount of their laptop models with AMD CPUs or GPUs had cooling elements almost intentionally blocked off, or not put in, resulting in significantly worse performance than the alternate spec units. They also did a s imilar thing with their AMD GPU coolers from what I’ve heard.
There were MSI RDNA3 cards? 😀

MSI has been anti-AMD for a while since AM5 launched. All their AM5 motherboards initially had worse value than even ASUS boards with the X670E Carbon having a design flaw where the GPU x16 slot begins from the 3rd slot down, the MSRP being more than the ROG X670E ITX; The MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk being $9 cheaper than a ASUS ROG B650E, but comes with fewer features; and truly horrific boards like the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk that started at $259 and has no PCIe5.0 features whatsoever and is $20 more expensive than a AsRock B650E Riptide that has the same number of power stages and fully supports PCIe5.0.
i have a X670p pro wifi and ddr5 board with a amd 7900x it’s fucking rips
Doesn’t change much really. Their products arent that available in my country and their AM5 motherboard prices are unhinged. Besides, ASRock beats them budget wise. Even if they just focus on Nvidia, users that buy AMD cards will most likely buy Sapphire Pulse/Nitro+/Pure cards or Gigabyte cards, Powercolor, XFX, ASRock and so on. As for Nvidia, their Ventus cards are straight up dumpster fire anyway, where ASUS Dual beats their cards at MSRP offering better quality.
Msi makes the cool models only for nvidia, thats where the money is
Addition to /u/Jhawk163 and the others here.
MSI actively put AMD in much worse laptop chassis. Worse chassis, worse thermal paste. Just one, most recent example:
If you are active in gaming laptop space, you would know that MSI have a reputation for having the worse hinges ever, there is currently a class action lawsuit forming up.
However, since last year (2023) – high end GP and GE series hinges are finally updated – they now copy ROG Strix series hinges – just google it and you will see the uncanny copy and paste job here – no one else does the ‘jarring’ exposed style of hinges, and even the geometry looks exactly the same.
And guess what happened to the top end AMD gaming laptop from MSI of 2023, the MSI Alpha 17?
Your thoughts is the same as mine, instead of sharing the new GP chassis, it used the old, 2022 GP chassis with the bad hinge.
Now, of course, because AMD isn’t *the most popular*, so many brands dont put as much, or really little AMD in their lineup, but most brands at least try, or not compromise AMD so much and so balatantly.
Well the CEO himself is anti-AMD so it’s rather not surprising.
Acer started GPU production as well right? They might take MSI place
Didnt they screwd AMD the last gen of CPU because of their motherboards?
AMD Mafia have rubbed them out.
Fuck MSI
They’ll do anything for a $, including support the genocide of Ukrainians.
Real bad look for a Taiwanese company looking down the barrel of Chinese guns.
Meanwhile, the jacket man: “Gigabyte! Gigabyte!”
