Nvidia is bringing back a tool for getting its new GPUs into the hands of gamers—weeks after the GPUs went on sale. The release at the end of January saw many stores running out of GeForce RTX 5090s and 5080s quickly,

It's basically a lottery system and, for the time being, is also probably your best chance at being able to actually buy a GeForce RTX 5090 or GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, both in Founders Edition (FE) form.

The RTX 5070 Ti is now available, but just like the 5080 and 5090, it's difficult to find one in stock at major retailers.

That's what we saw over and over again this morning when trying to buy Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti. Unfortunately, the GPU experienced the same launch-day troubles as the RTX 5090 and 5080: Low supplies and high demand made the PC graphics card nearly impossible to buy.

While graphics cards have been getting almost ludicrously more powerful over the years, it's also been increasingly difficult to actually buy one. In an effort to address this problem, NVIDIA has introduced a plan it's calling Verified Priority Access for its recently released GeForce RTX 50 series of GPUs.

Nvidia’s ‘priority access’ raffle may help you get a Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 or 5080 FE at the base price. The markup on Nvidia’s $2,000 GeForce RTX 5090 and $1,000 RTX 5080 GPUs has reached new heights.

The company is resuming its 'Verified Priority Access' program to sell the hard-to-find GeForce RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards to Nvidia users.

The once popular PhysX graphics technology by Nvidia is now out of support, leaving fans of the legacy games it powers saddened.
