As spotted by Wccftech, Nvidia has brought back its Verified Priority Access program, a scheme that allows a limited number of gamers (or indeed creators) in the US to purchase the RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 at MSRP by completing a form to indicate their interest.

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,

Nvidia has yet to explain why it launched its GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs with barely any inventory, some major launch driver issues, and the occasional melting power connector, but it has apparently reconsidered its stance when it comes to scalpers.
