Despite numerous hardware premieres, the end of this year is not the best time to buy new components due to huge problems with availability. Before the release of the Radeons RX 6000, AMD gave hope that we will not necessarily have a “paper” premiere. Unfortunately, after reviewing the offers of both Polish and foreign stores, it turned out that it is even more “paper” than in the case of Nvidia GeForce RTX cards 3000. The situation is not interesting and AMD partners are forced to make decisions they would prefer to avoid in order to be able to offer potential customers a wider choice of their products. One of them is MSI, which revealed in its YouTube program that it intends to focus solely on the Radeons RX 6000 of the Gaming series. We know the reasons.

MSI intends to market the Radeon RX 6000 only in the Gaming version due to insufficient the amount of GPU supplies, abandoning other models entirely. At least until things get better.

MSI has decided – unlike other manufacturers – to focus only on one series of Radeon RX graphics cards 6000. I am talking about Gaming (X) Trio, which was presented in one of the last episodes of MSI Insider on the YouTube channel (RX 6800 XT). Eric Van Beurden, MSI’s director of marketing, revealed at the time that “we intend to focus only on this project. We do not plan other blower or SUPRIM models, because we do not receive the right amount of deliveries. So it’s better to focus on one option and see what the future holds. ” The decision makes sense, especially considering the current problems, so only MSI Radeon RX 6000 in the Gaming Trio and Gaming X Trio versions that differ in only the clock frequency (the latter has factory OC).

When is improvement expected? MSI does not seem to anticipate an imminent, more significant GPU shipment. AMD revealed at the end of November that in about two months we should see slightly better card availability and prices closer to the suggested ones, but that was a very optimistic assumption. Data from stores such as Proshop show that the Radeons RX 6800 is delivered in almost trace amounts, and the RX 6900 XT better not to mention. In the face of poor availability of proprietary models and high demand for cards, AMD intends to continue producing reference versions, but according to unofficial reports, the situation also results from, among others, GDDR6 memory deficit may improve no earlier than February.
