NVIDIA Reportedly Ends GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Production, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Next
NVIDIA has reportedly stopped production of its mid-range GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, according to ASUS, one of the largest PC manufacturers. ASUS shared exclusive information with Hardware Unboxed, revealing that NVIDIA has created a supply shortage for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, effectively ending its production. As one of NVIDIA's largest AIB partners, ASUS has learned that the model is essentially in end-of-life status. The company noted the supply shortage and offered no further comments on availability or potential improvements in supply. Since retailers and manufacturers can't source enough stock of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPUs, the shortage has led to significant price increases for these models and suggests that the future availability of this GPU SKU might be nonexistent.
Update 2, January 16, 08:30 UTC: ASUS issued an official public statement regarding the "incomplete" information about the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti EOL.
Below is an older update and the remaining of the original text.
Update 1, 19:45 UTC: NVIDIA issued a statement to HardwareLuxx confirming that the series remains in production, but elevated demand is drying up the inventory.
Additionally, ASUS provided information about the previously rumored CES launch of the RTX 50 "SUPER" refresh, which was expected to have higher memory capacity. According to the AIB, this launch did not occur, although the original plan was indeed for a CES launch, which was postponed. Currently, there are no plans to release a series refresh, and some AIBs have reportedly expressed frustration over the sudden change. It seems the rumor about the SUPER launch being postponed was true, with the primary reason being the shortage of high-capacity GDDR7 memory.

ASUSWe would like to clarify recent reports regarding the ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB. Certain media may have received incomplete information from an ASUS PR representative regarding these products. 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. Current fluctuations in supply for both products are primarily due to memory supply constraints, which have temporarily affected production output and restocking cycles. As a result, availability may appear limited in certain markets, but this should not be interpreted as a production halt or product retirement. ASUS will continue to support the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB and is working closely with partners to stabilize supply as conditions improve.

NVIDIA to HardwareLuxxWhat changes are occurring in the GeForce ecosystem given the current memory market?The next phase of the silent production end is approaching for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB version, with resources reportedly being redirected to the lower-capacity GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB version. Stocks of the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB SKU have been dwindling across retailers and distributors, and prices are beginning to reflect this scarcity. The massive industry DRAM shortage has affected even graphics GDDR7 memory. As a result, the lower-capacity 8 GB version will remain available until the supply chain and memory production improve. Yesterday's rumors also confirm that the regular RTX 5060 will be the priority card for NVIDIA going forward, for that segment.
Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, and memory supply is constrained. We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs and are working closely with our suppliers to maximize memory availability.

Fingers crossed that AMD doesn't follow suit.
I wonder whether we'll even see the 6000 series from Nvidia this year, if so the prices will be astronomical.
Chance for Intel to step up.
All is good.
Seems like AMD using GDDR6 wasn't a bad thing like some were insisting, keeping prices down while performance isn't significantly worse.
Everything from Nvidia above 8GB will either be scalped, overpriced or artificially scarce, just like mr. crocodile leather jacket envisioned. And yall got AI to thank for.
Otherwise the jacket man wants everyone to buy 8GB gpu's again, while he told people to not criticize AI.
Welcome to 2026 where performance per $ is as unpredictable as the stock market. If you happen to saw the light at the end of the tunnel is was a freight train.
Ah, who am I kidding?
Oh and AI, folks, you can not say it enough!
AI!
The most reliable rumors and leaks suggests the B770 is designed to compete in the upper mid-range to high bracket. It is expected to trade blows with the RTX 4070 and the RTX 5060 Ti easily. In certain titles, it may even approach RTX 5070 levels of performance, particularly at 1440p or 4K. With 32 dedicated Ray Tracing units, it will offer a significant uplift over the previous A770/B580, possibly closing the gap between NV's mid-tier RT performance. Plus, thanks to its large VRAM size; it should easily handle entry-level 4K gaming requirements. There are even strong rumors of a "Pro" model featuring 24GB or 32GB of VRAM.
Rumoured Specs:
- GPU Architecture: Xe2-HPG (BMG-G31/Battlemage)
- Cores: 32 Xe2 Cores (4096 Shaders)
- VRAM: 16GB GDDR6 (256-bit bus)
- TDP: 300W (only 15% higher than a 7900 GRE)
- Interface: PCIe 5.0 x16
- Node: TSMC 4nm or 5nm
As far as the Power Efficiency concern goes. While this has caused some debate; it still suggests Intel is pushing the silicon to the absolute limit to maximize performance. Which most gamers actually care about.In addition, Intel is rumored to be preparing XeSS 3.0 to coincide with the B770 launch. Just like NVIDIA, Intel will offer its own high-quality updated frame generation tech ("DLSS 4.5 light").
With it recently being spotted in HP laptop driver files and GitHub repositories, despite Intel not announcing the B770 at CES 2026; current theories suggest Intel is polishing drivers to ensure a smoother launch than prior releases. MSRP is approximately around that $399-449 sweet spot (in line with other cards of similar caliber).
Therefore, I'm not sure where you're getting your information from. However, everything is shaping up for this to be a perfect alternative to a 5060 Ti 16GB, 9060 XT 16GB, 5070 12GB, 4070 12GB, and 4070 Super 12GB. With XeSS 3.0 it will probably even trade blows with a 7900 GRE 16GB or 9070 GRE 12GB in optimized titles comparing Ray Tracing performance or simply in productivity workloads. As a complete package, offering new frame gen technology, and above adequate frame buffer, plus a more than acceptable price for what you're getting. The B770, if the current data is remotely accurate, will be a welcomed addition to the video card market.
