Previously, reports emerged indicating a possible suspension in RTX 5070 Ti production. However, both NVIDIA and ASUS have refuted these claims. According to data from VideoCardz, due to a shortage in memory supply and potential adjustments in production capacity, the mid-range RTX 5070 Ti has seen its prices soar, generally exceeding the four-digit dollar mark across major retail channels. This price hike even surpasses the official suggested retail price of the higher-end RTX 5080.

Investigations have confirmed that none of the RTX 50 series products have been discontinued, nor are there any plans for cancellation or downgrading. The so-called production halt was, in fact, a misinterpretation. Initially, some models had low production volumes, leading certain channels to mistakenly perceive them as being phased out.

The real issue stems from the slower-than-expected ramp-up of GDDR7 memory production capacity. Supplied by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, the yield rates and mass production scales of GDDR7 are still on the rise. This is particularly true for mid- to high-end models like the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB, which commonly feature 16GB or even 32GB GDDR7 configurations. As a result, the demand for memory has far outstripped that of the previous generation.

ASUS officially clarified that the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB have not been discontinued or phased out. The supply delay is primarily due to DRAM supply constraints, representing a short-term production capacity adjustment issue.

NVIDIA had originally planned for a large-scale rollout of the RTX 50 series. However, delays in GDDR7 delivery have prompted some AIC (Add-in-Card) manufacturers to postpone new product launches or prioritize the production of flagship models.

Despite a significant increase in memory prices, NVIDIA has not fully passed on these costs to consumers or AIC manufacturers. Instead, it has actively subsidized part of the costs to maintain stable suggested retail prices.

Additionally, Samsung and SK Hynix have expanded their GDDR7 production lines in South Korea and Xi'an, China. Production capacity is expected to significantly increase by the second quarter of 2026. At that time, models such as the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti are expected to see a comprehensive rollout, and prices will gradually return to rational levels.
