• We request RTX 5070 Ti samples from Asus (and other partners)
• An Asus PR rep looks into it, comes back and says they cannot provide 5070 Tis due to supply constraints, saying their models are “end of life.”
• We ask Asus to clarify whether the RTX 5070 Ti is end of life. They confirm it’s end of life.
• We reach out to retailers to see whether they can purchase RTX 5070 Ti stock for their stores, to fact check Asus’ claims. They say there is no supply.
• Given we have received an on the record statement from Asus and confirmed the supply constraints with retailers, we publish a video with this information.
• Nvidia says all GeForce SKUs are being shipped.
• Asus reaches out to clarify that Nvidia told Asus that the RTX 5070 Ti is not end of life, but that Asus are “streamlining some models.”
• We publish that statement.
• Asus reaches out again to provide another statement (the third statement we’ve received from Asus), now saying the 5070 Ti is not discontinued or end of life. This directly contradicts the original statement.
• We immediately request RTX 5070 Ti samples now that the cards are not discontinued or end of life. We haven’t heard back yet.
