NVIDIA has launched a new program called Verified Priority Access for its GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, specifically the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Founders Edition. This initiative aims to tackle the ongoing difficulties consumers face when trying to purchase high-demand GPUs.
Only US customers with an NVIDIA account created before January 30 at 9 AM ET will be eligible to apply. Interested buyers can fill out a form to express their interest, with invitations to purchase being sent out starting next week.
This approach follows NVIDIA’s previous strategy during the launch of the RTX 4090, which utilized an invite-only system to manage supply and demand. The goal is to reduce the chances of scalpers and crypto miners acquiring these graphics cards, ensuring they reach legitimate customers.
Despite these efforts, the ongoing challenges in GPU availability highlight the need for manufacturers to implement more comprehensive solutions to improve access for consumers.
