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.
