Asus recently clarified an earlier statement about the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB graphics cards. They had previously suggested these models might be stopped, but now confirm they are not being discontinued and will continue to be supported.
Asus explained that inconsistent deliveries of parts are the reason for the graphics card shortages. Specifically, they noted limited memory chip availability has made it harder to build and restock these GPUs. They still plan to support the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB cards and are collaborating with manufacturers to improve their supply chain stability.
According to a recent statement from Asus, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB graphics cards are still in production and available for purchase. Asus has confirmed they don’t intend to stop selling these models.
We’re currently seeing some temporary shortages of these products because of limited memory chip availability. This has slowed down production and how quickly we can restock. You might find limited availability in some areas, but we want to assure you that we haven’t stopped making these products or plan to discontinue them.
Asus explained that the confusion about them ending support for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB graphics cards stemmed from inaccurate information. Specifically, a representative from their public relations team told the YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed that the GPUs would no longer be available, and this incomplete information led to the misunderstanding.
A global shortage of memory chips is impacting many computer hardware companies, including Nvidia, which has acknowledged disruptions to its graphics card supply. Nvidia previously stated that demand for its GeForce RTX GPUs remains high, but limited memory availability is a challenge. The company is continuing to ship all graphics card models and is actively working with suppliers to increase the amount of memory chips they receive.
The current memory shortage is mainly because suppliers have committed large quantities of memory chips to AI companies like OpenAI. This is causing supply problems for PC components, including RAM, SSDs, and even some hard drives. As we’ve previously reported, RAM prices have increased so much that a substantial portion of a new PC’s budget will likely be spent on just 32 or 64 GB of DDR5 RAM. Compared to consoles, this makes building a new PC in the current market unaffordable for many people.
The ongoing shortage of memory chips is likely to delay the release of new gaming hardware. Nintendo’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, has mentioned they are closely watching RAM prices, and there’s speculation that next-generation consoles could be pushed back a year to wait for prices to stabilize.
