RTX 5070 Ti Effectively End of Life as VRAM Shortage Triggers Nvidia RTX 50 Reprioritization

Industry reporting ties Nvidia's supply shift to memory scarcity, with no formal confirmation from the company.

Overview

  • Hardware Unboxed reports RTX 5070 Ti supply has ended, with Wccftech saying ASUS listed the card as end of life and cannot place new orders.
  • Retailers, including in Australia, reportedly cannot secure more RTX 5070 Ti units, with shortages expected to persist through Q1.
  • HEKPC and other sources indicate Nvidia is prioritizing 8 GB variants and higher-tier RTX 50 models, with some 16 GB midrange cards likely curtailed.
  • Market listings show steep markups across the RTX 50 range, with examples of RTX 5090 prices climbing far above MSRP on major platforms.
  • Reports attribute the constraints to a VRAM “memory crisis” driven by AI and data-center demand, while Nvidia has not publicly confirmed discontinuations or a specific SKU strategy.
