We continue to ship all GeForce SKUs and are working closely with our suppliers to maximize memory availability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Hardware Unboxed specified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/post\/UgkxjULwwm0m16AH8zznJZ34D2OVVGWEl3Ub\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in a follow-up post<\/a> that this only applies to Asus, and added, \u201cWhether or not AIBs actually receive enough supply to justify continued production is another question. Asus don\u2019t seem to think so.\u201d Asus did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Verge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">This may not be the case for all manufacturers. For instance, PNY public relations representative Michael Farino confirmed to The Verge that the Dual-Slot Slim (DSS) RTX 5070 Ti, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pny.com\/company\/press-center\/pny-press-releases\/pny-announces-new-dual-slot-slim-models-for-nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-series\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which was just announced at CES<\/a>, is still on track to \u201cstart shipping [in] February, and will be at all the usual retail suspects,\u201d including Best Buy, Micro Center, and Amazon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Unfortunately, it\u2019s not surprising to see constraints hitting the more affordable versions of 50-series GPUs first. Christopher Moore, Micron\u2019s VP of marketing, mobile and client business unit, <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/micron-exclusive-why-consumers-have-gotten-the-memory-shortage-narrative-all-wrong\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said to Wccftech<\/a> last week that \u201cWhat we\u2019re doing now is trying to run as few pieces of silicon as possible to max out, few differentiated DIDs as possible to max out the output\u2026 We\u2019re saying, you know, I know you used to wanna go from 12 gigabyte to 16 gigabyte, or 16 gigabyte to 24 gigabyte. Those changes actually drop our output. So we\u2019re working with them to try and get our demand as steady as possible so that we can get our supply as steady as possible and maximize the output.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Thursday, Hardware Unboxed reported that Asus is winding down production of its RTX 5070 Ti, saying, Asus&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4774,205,59,50,3352,16332,227,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-372720","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-asus","9":"tag-gaming","10":"tag-gb","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-nvidia","13":"tag-pc-gaming","14":"tag-tech","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
