We’ve received some further updates to the RTX 5070 Ti situation Asus has provided us with an additional statement, which says: “To clarify, our internal communication was related to streamlining some models based on these chipsets due to the current GPU supply constraints. There is currently no plan from NVIDIA to EOL these chipsets.” Asus are reiterating what Nvidia said earlier today, which is that they “continue to ship all GeForce SKUs.” However, there are two things at play. One is the official status of GeForce SKUs according to Nvidia. The other (and the focus of our video) is the supply and production status of GeForce graphics cards at Asus and other partners. Nvidia has not officially discontinued any RTX 50 GPU, but the supply situation and effective status of these GPUs at AIBs, distributors and retailers can be very different. Asus have been careful to clarify that *Nvidia* have not put these SKUs into end of life status. They have not refuted their original statement to us, which was that Asus cards using these SKUs are “end of life.” A GPU SKU may not be officially discontinued, but if the supply is reduced to the point AIBs can no longer manufacture them, it may as well be discontinued, ended or killed off. That is what Asus and retail sources said to us originally: incoming supply of the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is dismal to non-existent, and this is expected to continue for many months. Asus claimed their models using these GPUs were “end of life” (direct quote) and reiterated this when we asked for clarification before publishing the video. Why would Nvidia reduce supply for some models? In a market with constrained VRAM supply, they want to prioritize making the most revenue from the GDDR7 chips they are able to source. In this situation, if they were to allocate 16GB of G7 to a SKU, it would make sense the RTX 5080 is prioritized over the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. Based on what we’ve gathered, that’s what we believe is happening to the point where the cheaper 16GB SKUs have effectively been killed off. RTX 5070 Ti stock is quickly drying up, we hope that changes in the future, but for now it will be extremely difficult to purchase one. The ‘good’ news (if there is any) is that we’re being told the most severe supply constraints apply to the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. Other SKUs remain in production, some at reduced volume and at higher-than-MSRP prices – but they haven’t been killed off yet.
