NVIDIA has brought back its "Verified Priority Access" program for RTX Blackwell GPUs, intending to distribute SKUs to loyal Team Green fans and the actual end-user.
NVIDIA Launches Verified Priority Access For RTX Blackwell GPUs, Targeted Towards Giving Out FE Models To "Loyal" Users
For those unaware, Team Green's Verified Priority Access program has been available for previous generations as well, notably the RTX 40 series and the sole aim here is that NVIDIA basically rewards its loyal customers by providing them with exclusive access to consumer GPUs, that too at MSRPs. The company adopts a more thorough screening process for the applicants, making sure that the GPUs being sent out are being used for what they are intended for, rather than flipping them out for inflated prices.
We know it’s challenging to purchase a GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics card. Today we’re introducing Verified Priority Access for the GeForce RTX 50 Series. It will give a limited number of verified GeForce gamers & creators in the United States the opportunity to purchase one GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5080 Founders Edition graphics card from the NVIDIA Marketplace.
Users who have an NVIDIA Account created on or before January 30th, 2025 at 6AM Pacific Time can submit their interest for Verified Priority Access through this form.

Well, we all know how inventory levels with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 are right now. While the situation will definitely improve over the upcoming weeks, it certainly won't make the GPUs available at MSRP. So, with NVIDIA's Verified Priority Access program, that's the only way you can snag units at a decent price, given that Team Green shortlists you from the pool of thousands of applicants.
The important point to note here is that this program is only available for US consumers, and other regions cannot benefit from it. Moreover, it will only include FE models available for purchase from NVIDIA marketplace so that you won't get a variant from AIB partners like ASUS or MSI.
