Right after unveiling GPUs themed around World of Warcraft and Black Myth: Wukong recently, MSI is gearing up to release yet another video game-themed graphics card. This time around, the company has chosen Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl as an inspiration for their RTX 4070 Ti Super card.

In addition to these new RTX 4070 Ti Super editions, the company also has plans to release the new GDDR6 variant of the RTX 4070 card as well as a few RTX 3050 models.

According to the latest listings on the EEC, MSI has plans for Stalker 2-themed cards that will sport a Gaming X Slim cooler design. Plus, new RTX 4070 models with GDDDR6 memory and a few RTX 3050 have also been spotted.

In case you missed it, there have been reports of GDDR6X memory shortages caused by quality issues in a batch. This was said to affect the supply of RTX 4070 and higher graphics cards around August. 

To counter this, Nvidia and partners have developed an RTX 4070 variant with downgraded GDDR6 memory. So far, MSI, Gigabyte, and a few other brands have started manufacturing this new variant.
