Title: Asus confirms RTX 5070 Ti is now discontinued as Nvidia effectively kills Blackwell 16 GB midrange, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB next on the chopping block

Asus has confirmed to Hardware Unboxed that the company is moving the RTX 5070 Ti to end of life status and will no longer produce these GPUs. This follows reports of Nvidia adjusting GPU allocations based on VRAM capacity. With the RTX 5070 Ti and even the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB facing the axe, the RTX 5080 is the only remaining 16 GB GPU in the Blackwell lineup.

Has the time come for 3-4 years between new consumer GPU releases? If nVidia is cutting supply by as much as 40%, something has to change here.

8GB GPUs were already considered a poor purchase, but memory chip prices have exploded - so thank $deity for 8GB GPUs are the new standard to preserve profit margins (again)

Maybe a 4-year cycle would mean lazy developers would have to optimise their software rather than relying on hardware to do the heavy lifting.
