NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti no more, according to ASUS

Hardware Unboxed learned at CES 2026 that the RTX 5070 Ti has effectively reached its end of life. According to ASUS, NVIDIA has stopped supplying GPUs for this model, meaning the cards currently on the market are the last batch to be sold. The company confirmed it has no plans to resume production of this SKU, marking the official end of one of the more popular mid-range cards of the RTX 50 series.
So, the headline story is that Nvidia has essentially killed off the GeForce RTX 570 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. This means ASUS has no plans to produce any more 5070 Ti models from this point forward. What is currently on store shelves is it from them. No more production of that card.

This follows recent allocation changes by NVIDIA, which shifted supply toward other models. Based on current information, the RTX 5080 will now serve as the primary 16 GB model in active production. Hardware Unboxed also confirmed that the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is suffering from similar shortages and has now been designated end of life by ASUS as well, with production halted. NVIDIA’s allocation strategy reportedly now focuses on 8 GB variants, such as the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti 8 GB, which remain available.
In their latest update, Hardware Unboxed explained that retailers and distributors have been unable to source RTX 5070 Ti stock for weeks. Prices have surged as remaining units disappear rising from around $730 USD in November to $830 USD today for the cheapest available cards, with most ASUS models already gone from Newegg listings. In Australia, the same model jumped from $1,200 AUD to around $1,400, and further price increases are expected in Q1 2026.
RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is next
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is following the same path, climbing from $400 USD to $460 USD, and even beyond $500 for base models as stock dries up. The cheaper 8 GB versions will stay on shelves for now but are also facing higher supply costs, with some retailers expecting around 20% price increases in upcoming shipments.
The RTX 5070 (non-Ti) remains technically available, though availability has tightened and prices have already started to rise. With 12 GB VRAM, it’s less exposed to DRAM pricing spikes, but retailers are no longer getting large restocks.
RTX 50 SUPER was indeed supposed to be released at CES 2026
As for the RTX 50 Super series, which many expected to debut at CES 2026, Hardware Unboxed reports that plans were scrapped or postponed indefinitely. According to Hardware Unboxed, board partners attending CES were reportedly frustrated by the sudden change, as NVIDIA had originally indicated the launch would take place at the show.
If memory prices stabilize, NVIDIA could revisit the RTX 50 Super lineup later in 2026, but current signals suggest the project may be cancelled altogether to avoid overlap with the next-generation lineup expected in 2027.

Update: NVIDIA has released a short statement saying that they will continue to ship all SKUs:
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.
