MSI has confirmed that it will not be manufacturing AMD Radeon 9000-series GPUs that utilize the RDNA 4 architecture. This decision suggests that MSI is not interested in the RDNA 4 lineup, which includes the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, among the best graphics cards available.

The reasons behind this move are not yet clear, but speculation includes MSI's intention to focus on Nvidia GPUs, or the lack of profitability in the AMD Radeon 9000-series. This shift could be seen as MSI potentially moving away from AMD to Nvidia, similar to the strategy of EVGA.

MSI's decision to skip the RDNA 4 lineup may also be influenced by the current market dynamics, where demand for graphics cards is high, but supply is limited. This situation could affect MSI's ability to produce and sell AMD-based graphics cards at a profit.

For now, MSI has not disclosed any plans for future AMD graphics cards. The industry will have to wait and see if MSI will return to AMD's fold with the next generation of graphics cards, or if it will continue to focus on Nvidia and other GPU manufacturers.
