NVIDIA is discontinuing the 5070Ti & 5060Ti 16gb models acc to Hardware Unboxed

According to Hardware Unboxed, NVIDIA’s board partners can no longer buy the chips needed to keep producing the RTX 5070 Ti and the 16 GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti, which likely means these cards are being phased out.

The most likely reason is the ongoing memory shortage, since these are NVIDIA’s cheapest GPUs that come with 16 GB of VRAM. Meanwhile, 8 GB models like the standard 5060 Ti, as well as the RTX 5080 and 5090, don’t seem to be affected.

2026 is going to be great

Alternate viewpoint

HKEPC is saying that they aren’t discontinued but they are being deprioritized, ie 16GB memory chips are prioritised for RTX 5080 models. Thus 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16 GB will have limited supply

Hardware unboxed’s latest tweet

Another update from ASUS and what actually happened according to videocardz

The timeline so far, per Hardware Unboxed

  1. Hardware Unboxed asks ASUS (and other partners) for RTX 5070 Ti samples
  2. An ASUS PR representative says samples are not available due to supply constraints, and calls ASUS models “end of life”
  3. Hardware Unboxed asks ASUS to clarify. ASUS confirms the “end of life” wording
  4. Retailers are contacted to verify supply. Retailers report no stock available to buy for stores
  5. Hardware Unboxed publishes a video based on the on-record ASUS statement plus retailer checks
  6. NVIDIA says GeForce SKUs are still shipping
  7. ASUS follows up, saying NVIDIA told ASUS the RTX 5070 Ti is not end of life, and that ASUS is “streamlining some models”
  8. Hardware Unboxed publishes that clarification
  9. ASUS follows up again with a third statement, now saying the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB are not discontinued or EOL
  10. Hardware Unboxed requests RTX 5070 Ti samples again

So at least a year or two of GPU draught, along with RAM & SSD, for next 2 years looks like it.

So best time to get this or skip?

Back to 4/8GB era ? :cactus:

I think this might get stretched to 4-5 years with the current political economic instability happening worldwide :smiling_face_with_tear:

I should have bought 5060ti instead of 9060XT 16GB. What do you say guys?

9

Nah, you’re good. The 9060 XT is a great card!

10

Don’t you worry, your gpu will be flying soon too :sweat_smile:

11

Depends on use case and money tbh.

If you are only going to play some games then 9060XT is perfectly fine.

Don’t lament or regret. Be positive and satisfied instead :slight_smile:

If you want/need one, yes 100%. Knowing our scalping resellers, we should soon see 5070ti cards being priced at 100k.

13

RIP its ggs for for the next 2 years

14

There was a major price difference between those two if I recall correctly. Either way, you have a pretty decent card to last you a while.

15

I’m not that pessimistic. I think 2026 might be tough then 2027 would be much better for prices due to consumer demand dampening, new fabs coming up online (Samsung, China etc), AI infra build out slowed down by electricity demand and local resistance, launch of next gen GPUs in the first half of 2027 etc

The cure for high prices is high prices.

i am struck with 8 gb ram and 250 ssd for next 2 years :sob:

FOMO ftw. Panic buy before the stocks run out.
