- Nvidia has reportedly killed off the RTX 5070 Ti supply entirely, several AIB partners have claimed.
- ASUS has placed the model into end-of-life status, meaning no more units will be produced.
- The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB variant’s supply has also been significantly impacted.
2026 has been off to a grim start for the gaming hardware scene, with earlier reports suggesting that Nvidia will only prioritize the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti 8 GB from the entire Blackwell series. The company also indefinitely postponed plans for the RTX 5000 Super series.
A new report now adds that Nvidia has already ended the production of RTX 5070 Ti, with several AIB partners admitting there’s been no new stock for weeks. The RTX 5080 is now expected to be Nvidia’s leading 16 GB model in production, according to current information.
Why it matters: The grim report corroborates rumors that Nvidia is slowly ending production of 50xx GPUs with high VRAM as the industry’s memory supply worsens.
Hardware Unboxed learned about the end of RTX 5070 Ti production at CES 2026 after discussing with several AIB partners. ASUS explicitly admitted that it has already placed the model in end-of-life status due to its scarcity.
So, there won’t be any new ASUS or other-branded 5070 Ti cards besides what’s currently on the shelves.
Nvidia has essentially killed off the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti from the market. Asus, the largest Nvidia AIB partner, explicitly told us this model is currently facing a supply shortage, and as such, they have placed the model into end of life status.

The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB variant is also expected to suffer the same fate; it’s already been significantly impacted, and stocks are nearly nonexistent. Nvidia is primarily focusing on its 8 GB variants in the RTX 50xx series as memory stock dwindles across the industry.
The base RTX 5070 cards are still available to AIB partners and retailers, even though stock levels are not as high as they used to be. All the industry pointers suggest that the situation will only get worse in the near future.
Do you think Nvidia will continue to end the production of its high-end RTX 50xx GPUs moving forward? Do you agree with this approach, given the memory shortage? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
