ASUS Ends RTX 5070 Ti Production as VRAM Shortages Reshape NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Line

AI-fueled memory scarcity is steering production toward lower‑VRAM models over midrange 16GB cards.

Overview

  • ASUS confirmed the RTX 5070 Ti is now end‑of‑life and said the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti is nearly finished, with no further production planned.
  • HKEPC reporting indicates NVIDIA is prioritizing 8GB variants and reserving 16GB supply for higher‑tier cards like the RTX 5080, with the 12GB RTX 5070 status unclear.
  • Retailers contacted by Hardware Unboxed, including in Australia, report they cannot source new RTX 5070 Ti stock and expect shortages through at least Q1.
  • Street prices have surged, with most RTX 5070 Ti listings climbing well above MSRP to around $1,250 or more at major retailers.
  • A hardware leaker claims NVIDIA cut partner shipments by roughly 15–20% and postponed planned RTX 50 SUPER models, which remains unconfirmed by NVIDIA.
