Overview
- ASUS told Hardware Unboxed it placed its own RTX 5070 Ti into end‑of‑life status and stopped producing the 5060 Ti 16GB, later clarifying this reflects constrained supply rather than a factory‑level halt for the broader product lines.
- Retailers, including in Australia, report they cannot secure new RTX 5070 Ti stock for at least Q1, with street prices rising sharply for 16GB RTX 50‑series cards as inventories dwindle.
- Reports citing HKEPC and Board Channels indicate Nvidia is prioritizing allocation by VRAM capacity, favoring 8GB variants and top‑tier 16GB models like the RTX 5080 over mid‑tier 16GB cards.
- Nvidia reportedly issued a statement to Hardwareluxx disputing claims of a formal discontinuation, leaving the status of company‑level production changes uncertain even as practical shortages persist.
- Hardware Unboxed and multiple outlets report the planned RTX 50‑series Super refresh has been postponed, aligning with the broader memory‑supply constraints shaping GPU availability.
