Like the similarly verified preferred access program on the RTX 4090, the new program is only an invitation, but this time you fill out this form to apply for access rather than being preselected. The site will confirm that you already have an NVIDIA account (accounts created after January 30th do not need to be applied) and ask if you prefer 5090 or 5080. Then, before serving the card using the algorithm, you are a real gamer (analyze the use of NVIDIA app/GeForce experience). Limit one per person.
“The invitations will start to unfold next week,” Nvidia wrote. The company has not stated how many cards are allocated to the program, so it is difficult to determine whether this is a meaningful way to get cards to gamers rather than scalpers.
