ASUS is no longer manufacturing certain NVIDIA GPUs due to a severe memory supply crunch, according to a report from Hardware Unboxed. The RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB models are the latest casualties of this trend.

NVIDIA's spokesperson has acknowledged the issue, stating that demand for GeForce RTX GPUs is strong but their suppliers cannot meet the current demand due to memory constraints. The company claims it continues to ship all its GeForce SKUs and is working closely with its suppliers to maximize memory availability.

The shortage in memory chips is having a ripple effect on various industries, including gaming, where high-end GPUs are essential for smooth performance. In December 2025, RAM prices skyrocketed due to the increasing demand from AI data centers. This trend is unlikely to reverse anytime soon.

In light of this situation, NVIDIA's competitors like ASUS have been forced to reassess their production priorities and halt the manufacturing of certain products that rely on these memory chips.

As the world grapples with the challenges posed by emerging technologies, companies are being pushed to rethink their strategies in response to supply chain disruptions.
 
Ugh, I'm so done with these GPU shortages 🙄. Can't NVIDIA just get its act together and manage its suppliers better? It's like they're asking for this shortage to happen 🤦‍♂️. And now ASUS is out of the RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB models, which is a bummer for all you gamers out there 🎮. I remember when these GPUs first came out, they were supposed to be super powerful, but it looks like NVIDIA's focus on AI data centers has left its consumer customers hanging 😩. I'm still waiting for my RTX 3080, and now it's even harder to get one because of this shortage 🙄. It just feels like a mess, and I'm not sure how long it'll take for things to go back to normal... maybe never? 😬
 
🤯 just got my hands on a new GPU upgrade only to find out it's not even available anymore 🚫 what's up with this memory supply crunch?! i mean, i knew it was a good idea to sell all my old gaming PC parts but not expected it to affect the latest and greatest models 😅

anyway, i'm thinking of buying a used RTX 5070 Ti or something but do you guys think that's still gonna be a good investment considering this shortage? 🤑 also, how are companies like NVIDIA and ASUS supposed to keep up with demand when their suppliers can't even meet the basics? 🤔 need some advice from fellow gamers! 💻
 
🤔 just think about it, we're living in a time where our tech is causing its own problems... like the fact that nvidia can't even meet demand for some of their gpu models 📉 how's that for irony? it's crazy to see companies like asus having to adapt and pivot because of supply chain issues 💡 anyone else think this is gonna be a bigger deal than just a minor hiccup in the gaming world?
 
I feel bad for NVIDIA 😐, they're just trying to meet the demand from gamers and AI data centers 🤖. I get it's a memory supply crunch, but can't they work out some kind of deal with their suppliers or something? 🤑 It's not like they're trying to hoard all the good GPUs for themselves 🙄.

I don't think it's fair on ASUS either, I mean they're just following suit because NVIDIA isn't producing enough 🤷‍♂️. Can't we just get more memory chips in general? 📦 It's not like this is a new problem, tech companies have been dealing with supply chain issues for ages 💸.

I'm worried about the impact on gamers though 😬, those RTX 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB models were some sweet GPUs 🎮. I hope NVIDIA can get their act together soon and find a way to meet demand without sacrificing performance ⏱️.
 
So I'm wondering how they even knew about this shortage before it affected them? Like, did NVIDIA's suppliers just start telling them like "hey we can't make more memory chips"? And what does this mean for gamers who really want those high-end GPUs? Are they gonna have to wait forever or pay way too much money for the ones they can get? 🤔

And I'm also kinda curious about how AI data centers are affecting everyone else's lives. Like, is it true that their huge demand for RAM is causing all these problems with memory chips? How does this impact regular people and not just big corporations? 💡
 
The tech industry is a game of cat and mouse 🤖💻... it seems like NVIDIA's suppliers are trying to catch up with demand, but it's the consumers who are getting burned 🔥😬. The fact that RAM prices skyrocketed due to AI data centers shows how quickly our appetite for memory can drive prices upwards 💸📈. I guess you could say supply chain disruptions are no longer just a "supply" side issue... they're all over the place 🤯!
 
ugh man this is getting crazy... like what's going on with GPUs? they're already so expensive now and nvidia can't even keep up with demand? 🤯 16GB models are the latest to get axed, which is just another nail in the coffin for gamers who can barely afford those high-end cards as it is. i'm not surprised though, the whole AI data center thing has been taking off lately and that's putting a ton of pressure on suppliers... it's gonna be a while before things settle down, i guess 🤑
 
🤯 I'm telling ya, this is crazy! Back in my day we didn't have all these fancy GPUs and AI data centers, but now it's like they're running out of memory chips or something! It's wild that ASUS just can't keep up with demand for their high-end GPUs. 🤦‍♂️ I mean, I know NVIDIA said their suppliers can't meet the demand due to memory constraints, but it still feels like a bit of a cop-out if you ask me.

I've been following this story and it's getting more interesting by the day. I'm worried about what this means for gamers who want those high-end GPUs for smooth performance. It's like they're holding up all these new tech advancements with their supply chain issues 🤔. And to think, RAM prices skyrocketed just last month due to the AI data center demand! It's all so connected now, you know? 📈
 
Ugh dont even get me started on this GPU shortage lol 💀😡 its like NVIDIA is just expecting everyone to have a GPU farm at home right now. And what's up with the memory chip issue? cant they just, like, order more or something? 🤷‍♂️ it sounds like they're basically crying "help" and no one's really stepping in to save them.

i mean i get that demand is high and all, but come on NVIDIA. you guys are supposed to be the leaders in tech innovation. can't you just work out a better deal with your suppliers or something? 🤔 this whole situation just feels like a giant mess and i'm not even sure what the solution is at this point.

anyway, its basically just gonna be a matter of time before we see prices skyrocket even further due to the AI data center boom. that's just a fact of life now imo 💸📈
 
🤩 OMG this is crazy!!! I'm literally shaking my head lol just think about how long it's been since we had a stable gpu market... and now this? 🤯 I mean I know everyone's been saying it for ages but like seriously how did this happen?! 💸 RAM prices skyrocketing is no joke, I remember buying my last gpu in 2022 and the prices were already kinda steep. Now it's like they're playing a game of supply and demand 😂 can't wait to see what other tech companies are gonna do next 🤔
 
OMG, can you believe this? 😱 ASUS just stopped making those NVIDIA GPUs 🤯 Like, what's next? No more gaming rigs? 💻 I mean, I get it, memory supply crunch is a big deal, but can't they find a way to work around it? 🤔 The demand for high-end GPUs is huge right now, especially with all the AI stuff taking off. It's crazy that RAM prices skyrocketed just because of this... I feel like we're living in a gamer's nightmare 😅 What's NVIDIA gonna do next? 🤑
 
🤔 So this is what happens when everyone wants the latest and greatest GPU... 🚀 Yeah no kidding about the memory shortage, I mean it's not like we didn't see this coming with all the AI and machine learning stuff taking off. It's just crazy to think that RAM prices skyrocketed in December already! 💸 What a coincidence that happens right before Christmas. And now ASUS is basically forced to stop making certain GPUs because of NVIDIA's suppliers? 🤯 That's some serious leverage by those big companies, if you ask me.

I mean I'm not surprised that NVIDIA is still shipping all their GPUs and claiming they're working on the issue... 🙄 It sounds like a standard PR move. But what about the customers who are already feeling the pinch because of these supply chain disruptions? 💔 I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out before it affects us personally.
 
just read this about asus stopping gpu production 🤔 like, what's going on with nvidia's suppliers? 😅 they're not just gaming stuff anymore, remember how ram prices skyrocketed cuz of ai data centers and all that? 📈 it's a big deal, i guess it makes sense for asus to stop making gpus but still, who's gonna buy them now? 💸
 
ugh, gaming just got way more expensive 🤑😬 i mean, 16gb ram for a gpu? who needs that much ram lol 💻 i guess its just another example of how our tech is advancing so fast it can't keep up with itself 🤯 nvidia's gotta find a way to get their suppliers to crank out some more memory chips or we're stuck in this price hike cycle forever 💸
 
So, this isn't entirely surprising 🤔 - I mean, people have been warning about a GPU shortage for ages! It's crazy how much demand has increased for those AI data centers... 16GB models? Really? That's like, totally unnecessary for most gamers, if you ask me 😒. Anyway, NVIDIA's got some explaining to do, and their suppliers need to step up their game 📈. This is what happens when we're all too reliant on tech advancements without thinking about the long-term consequences... yeah, I'm looking at you, gaming community! 💻
