Asus has released a public statement clarifying that the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti models are not discontinued or marked as end-of-life (EOL). The company also confirmed that fluctuations in supply for both models have been primarily due to the ongoing memory crisis, “which have temporarily affected production output and restocking cycles.”

The statement appears to be a response to a recent report from the YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed, which claimed that an Asus PR representative had confirmed the RTX 5070 Ti was end-of-life after the outlet requested a review unit. Asus has since backtracked, stating that the information shared by its PR representative was incomplete and that the company has no plans to discontinue these models. “We would like to clarify recent reports regarding the ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB,” the company stated. “Certain media may have received incomplete information from an ASUS PR representative regarding these products.”

In a recent post on X, Hardware Unboxed, which first reported the issues, says that the whole situation unfolded when the outlet initially requested RTX 5070 Ti review samples from Asus, as well as other board partners. An Asus PR representative apparently responded to the request, saying that samples could not be provided due to supply constraints, claiming the models were “end of life.” When asked to clarify, Asus reportedly confirmed that this was indeed the case.

Hardware Unboxed then contacted retailers to verify the claim, who similarly indicated that no stock was available. Based on both Asus’ purported confirmation and retailer feedback, the outlet published a video detailing the situation. Shortly after, Nvidia released a media statement saying that all GeForce SKUs were still being shipped, despite the ongoing memory constraints. ” Demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong, and memory supply is constrained. We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs and are working closely with our suppliers to maximize memory availability,” the company told Tom’s Hardware.
