Asus says it will ditch the RTX 5070 Ti because the lack of memory leads to display compression

Thursday, Hardware is not packaged Asus has stated that Asus is working to reduce production of the RTX 5070 Ti, saying: Asus “explicitly told us that this model is currently facing a supply shortage, and as such, they have placed the model on end-of-life status.” They added that the same applies to the 16GB Asus RTX 5060 Ti, and mentioned how retailers in Australia had trouble sourcing the product.

Nvidia’s global public relations manager for GeForce, Ben Berraondo, confirmed in a statement to Edge They are still producing these GPUs: “Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, and memory supply is limited. We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs and are working closely with our suppliers to maximize memory availability.”

Unboxed devices are selected In the follow-up post That this applies only to Asus, he added: “Whether or not AIBs actually receive enough supply to justify continued production is another question. Asus doesn’t seem to think so.” Asus did not immediately respond to a request for comment Edge.

This may not be the case for all manufacturers. For example, PNY’s public relations representative, Michael Farino, confirmed this Edge The RTX 5070 Ti Dual Slim Slot (DSS) Which was just announced at CESis still on track to “start shipping (in) February, and will be available at all regular retail stores,” including Best Buy, Micro Center, and Amazon.

Unfortunately, it’s not surprising to see limitations hitting the more affordable versions of the 50-series GPUs first. Christopher Moore, Vice President, Marketing, Mobile and Customer Business Unit at Micron, L said Wccftech last week that “what we’re doing now is trying to run as few pieces of silicon as possible to get to the maximum, and as few differentiated DIDs as possible to get the maximum output… We’re saying, you know, I know you’ve been wanting to go from 12Gb to 16Gb, or 16Gb to 24Gb. These changes actually reduce our production. So we’re working with them to try to make our demand as constant as possible so we can make our supply as constant as possible and maximize production.”
