Asus Denies RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti Discontinuation Amid Conflicting Rumors and Memory Shortages — Here’s What Consumers Need to Know
Asus and Nvidia are caught in a confusing web of conflicting statements about the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti—while the GPUs aren’t technically discontinued, memory shortages and corporate miscommunications are leaving consumers in limbo.
Asus explicitly denied discontinuation claims for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB:
"The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB have not been discontinued or designated as end-of-life (EOL). ASUS has no plans to stop selling these models."
However, the company attributes supply fluctuations to a global memory shortage impacting production and restocking cycles.
Hardware Unboxed initially reported the models as EOL based on an Asus PR rep's statement but later received conflicting clarifications.
Nvidia confirmed all GeForce SKUs remain in production despite memory constraints:
"Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, and memory supply is constrained. We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs..."
Rumors suggest Nvidia may reduce GPU supply to partners by 15–20%, exacerbating pricing issues for flagship models like RTX 5090 (+79% price increase) and RTX 5080 (+35%).
