Nvidia has discontinued production of its RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5070 Ti graphics cards equipped with 16GB of memory, according to industry sources and confirmation from Asus, Nvidia’s largest board partner. Remaining inventory in retail channels represents the final supply, with no further production planned.
The move leaves the market increasingly dominated by 8GB models, which many users already view as insufficient for modern gaming and AI workloads. Analysts note that memory shortages and rising component costs are pushing manufacturers to limit higher-capacity configurations, despite continued price increases across the GPU market.
Industry observers also expect Nvidia to skip the RTX 50 Super refresh cycle, as expanded memory was expected to be its main upgrade. Under current cost conditions, such a lineup is seen as economically unviable, reinforcing concerns about reduced future-proofing for consumers.
