Overview
- ASUS told Hardware Unboxed it has placed the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti into end-of-life status and will stop producing it, and it no longer plans to build the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti.
- Retailers, particularly in Australia, report they cannot secure new RTX 5070 Ti stock, with U.S. prices climbing well above the $749 MSRP and many models listing above $1,200.
- Channel reporting from HKEPC and Board Channels says Nvidia is prioritizing GPUs by memory configuration, focusing on the RTX 5060 Ti among 8GB cards and the RTX 5080 among 16GB models, with overall supply for 5090-class parts still constrained.
- Multiple outlets say Nvidia’s planned RTX 50 SUPER refresh expected around CES has been postponed indefinitely due to memory cost and availability pressures.
- Nvidia later provided a statement to Hardwareluxx contradicting reports of a discontinuation, leaving the extent and duration of cuts to midrange 16GB cards disputed and the situation fluid.
