Nvidia begins inviting gamers to purchase RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 gaming GPUs

If you’re keen to get your hands on an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5080, there’s now a new, official route for you to try. Nvidia is sending out invitations via its new Verified Priority Access program, giving account holders the chance to secure one of these top-tier Founders Edition gaming GPUs at their MSRP price, directly from the GPU maker itself.

This isn’t the first time Nvidia has taken on the scalpers, using a similar program to help gamers purchase RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 graphics cards when those launches were also affected by stock availability problems. While the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are now among the best graphics cards you can buy, demand for both cards has been exceptionally high, making it almost impossible for gamers to buy one since their launch last month.
