"YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed is reporting that ASUS has stopped producing the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB due to the ongoing memory crunch. In its most recent video, the channel states ASUS "explicitly" told it the RTX 5070 Ti is "currently facing a supply shortage." As a result, the company has "placed the model into end of life status," and no longer plans to produce it."
"Hardware Unboxed also spoke to retailers in Australia, who told the channel the 5070 Ti is "no longer available to purchase from partners and distributors," adding they expect that to be the case throughout at least the first quarter of the year. The 5060 Ti 16GB "is almost done as well," with ASUS stating it no longer plans to produce that model going forward either."
""ASUS did not tell us that NVIDIA said the RTX 5070 Ti has been discontinued. ASUS told us there is very little supply of the 5070 Ti, so their own 5070 Ti products (e.g, the Prime and TUF Gaming) have been put into end of life status," the channel said. "With retailers also unable to source 5070 Ti SKUs from any AIB, this effectively makes it a dead product.""
ASUS has stopped producing the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB models and placed the 5070 Ti into end-of-life status because of constrained memory supply. Retailers in Australia report the 5070 Ti is no longer available from partners and distributors and expect that to continue through at least the first quarter. ASUS also indicated it will not continue production of the 5060 Ti 16GB. Both GPUs use 16GB memory, increasing manufacturing cost amid a wider memory crunch. NVIDIA stated GeForce RTX demand is strong, memory supply is constrained, and the company continues to ship all SKUs while working with suppliers to maximize memory availability. A clarification noted ASUS did not say NVIDIA discontinued the 5070 Ti, and lack of availability across AIBs effectively makes the product dead.
