MSI still going to produce AMD Graphics Cards?

[Nelly]

Why haven't MSI released a press release for an RX 590 graphics card, are they going to produce one? Also MSI never released an Vega 56 / 64 custom cooled graphics cards, why? Also will MSI still manufacture AMD graphics cards going forward?

MSI seem to be still releasing FreeSync monitors.

The only stock in general in the UK seems to be the MSI RX 580/570 ARMOR 8G OC graphics cards.

Vega 64 seems to be selling well in the USA. I've just seen a well known USA retailer sold nearly 1,200 Sapphire Vega 64 reference cards in the last 24 hours on their eBay outlet. 1,600+ sold in total.

H'mm, I bet @Gibbo knows something... check this out for the development news for MSI Afterburner, posted by Unwinder the developer. Just so happens it's got AMD enhancements and MSI sent the developer a new engineering sample of a custom design flagship model. Could be a Lightning model though for Nvidia?

MSI Afterburner development news | Posted: 21 November 2018:

• New MSI custom design flagship engineering sample is on the way to me now. This MSI non-reference design product line traditionally have exclusive multi-channel voltage control and multiple additional memory and VRM thermal sensors, so I’ll need to implement support for this card. Once it is implemented, we’ll probably release official 4.6.0
• While the sample is in the way, I’ll be working on some additional features which I planned to add to 4.6.0 before it goes final:
• Voltage/Frequency curve editor will be unlocked for AMD cards. There is no exactly equal NVIDIA-styled voltage/frequency curve tuning support on AMD side but this GUI (in slightly altered form) can be used to allow editing all P-States instead of adjusting just the highest P7 now. Screenshot is demonstrating new planned GUI prototype.
• Voltage/Frequency editor functionality will be slightly upgraded for NVIDIA cards too, it will be possible to override visible range of clocks/voltages so those who use V/F curve editor to lock voltage and reduce power consumption (mostly my “favorite” miners) will be able to go below the previous GUI minimum (800mV) if necessary.
• There will be dedicated button for launching OC scanner from main window GUI (also shown on prototype screenshot in top left corner)
• Monitoring tab GUI will get additional useful helper keyboard shortcuts. It will be possible to override OSD/LCD group name for all graphs in the group at once (now you have to manually rename “CPU1” to something like “i7 8700K” for all grouped graphs). It will be also possible to use <Alt> modifier when changing some monitoring options (e.g. when toggling “Show in OSD” option) to apply it to all similar graphs at once (e.g. holding <Alt> and ticking “Show in OSD” for “CPU1 temperature” graph will also synchronically enable “Show in OSD” for the rest “CPUx temperature” graphs”).
• ___Probably___ we’ll unlock OC scanner button for GTX 1000 family (no promises on it, there is no final decision on it yet). NVIDIA are working on their NV Scanner implementation for GTX 1000 family in recent drivers so the scanner is already breathing on previous GPU generations. There are still some open issues left, but I’m thinking about allowing you to play with scanner “as is” in the next beta.

Surprised at some of the accounts here. I've not had one issue with MSI going back to the Athlon days. Maybe just lucky?

I've never had any issues, bought MSI ATI X800 XT P.E 256MB I had for 2-years with no issues, sold it on. MSI GeForce GTX 580 OC Twin FrozR II 1536MB I had for 10 months with no issue, sold on. MSI GTX 970 Gaming Edition 4GB no issues for months, returned due to Nvidia 3.5GB false advertising. MSI Z77 MPower motherboard still going strong after 6-years.
