Reports are now suggesting that NVIDIA may be quietly winding down the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, with early signs indicating that production (or at least partner supply) is being cut off—making the card increasingly rare and more expensive almost overnight.
According to Hardware Unboxed, multiple GPU manufacturers have allegedly begun marking the RTX 5070 Ti as “end of life,” a label that typically means the pipeline is drying up and existing inventory may be the last available for the foreseeable future.
Is NVIDIA Actually Ending RTX 5070 Ti Production?
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is repeatedly mentioned as the likely “next” card to get the same treatment, suggesting this isn’t just a random SKU being retired, but rather a broader decision centered around memory availability.
The major concern here is the memory crunch. Since late 2025, RAM prices have surged as AI and data centers push massive demand for high-speed memory, and the effects are now being felt across consumer hardware, particularly graphics cards.
Since the RTX 5070 Ti ships with 16GB of VRAM, it’s more exposed to these cost pressures than lower-tier models, which is why the RTX 5070 (12GB) and entry-level cards like the RTX 5060/5050 (8GB) are seemingly still being produced without major disruption for now.
One of the more detailed claims traces back to CES 2026, where ASUS reportedly suggested that RTX 5070 Ti supply has become extremely hard to secure, implying board partners can no longer consistently obtain the parts needed to keep shipping the card.
This has added to speculation that NVIDIA is directing its constrained VRAM supply to higher-margin cards like the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, since those models earn more per unit and continue to see strong demand even at marked-up prices.
Are RTX 5070 Ti Prices Going Up Already?
Even if NVIDIA hasn’t officially pulled the plug on the RTX 5070 Ti, the market reaction is already clear and prices are rising fast, with listings climbing well above the expected $749 MSRP and many sellers now pushing past $1,000 as stock tightens.
The same discussion threads also point to a bigger fear driving the panic, and it’s that this could signal a long-term shift where consumer gaming GPUs become less important than enterprise AI demand, turning what used to be the midrange sweet spot into short-lived products with unstable pricing.
NVIDIA, however, has not fully confirmed the discontinuation narrative, with at least one statement emphasizing that demand is strong, memory supply is constrained, and that it continues shipping all GeForce SKUs.
