ASUS Confirms RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Are Not Discontinued, Shortage Is Temporary
Miscommunication Led to Incorrect End of Life Reports
Following widespread online reports suggesting that ASUS had discontinued production of the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, the company has released an official statement to clarify the situation. ASUS confirmed that the information circulating in some media outlets was based on incomplete and miscommunicated details, and firmly stated that neither graphics card has entered End of Life status.
According to ASUS, both models remain active products with no plans to be removed from the market.
Global Memory Shortage Is the Real Cause
ASUS explained that the current difficulty in finding these graphics cards is due to global memory supply constraints, which are affecting production schedules across the entire hardware industry. These limitations have temporarily slowed manufacturing and stock replenishment in certain regions, creating the impression that production had been halted.
The company emphasized that this is a supply chain issue rather than a strategic decision, and that similar disruptions are being felt by many manufacturers worldwide.
Production and Support Will Continue
ASUS reassured consumers that it remains fully committed to supporting both the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. The company is actively working with component suppliers and distribution partners to normalize shipment schedules as soon as memory availability improves.
Once the situation stabilizes, ASUS expects supply levels to gradually return to normal across key markets, including Southeast Asia.
Market Impact and Consumer Outlook
This clarification comes as welcome news for gamers and PC builders who were concerned that a true discontinuation could push prices even higher. In recent weeks, fears of EOL status had contributed to rising prices and reduced availability in several regions.
While ASUS has confirmed continued production, consumers may still experience temporary out of stock situations until memory supply conditions improve. The ongoing surge in AI-related hardware demand continues to put pressure on semiconductor resources, which remains the core challenge.
Current Price Reference
If available near standard pricing, the RTX 5070 Ti is currently priced around 800 to 850 USD, while the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB typically sits near 499 USD. Availability may vary by region and retailer until supply chains fully stabilize.
