The launch of the GeForce RTX 50-series GPU has solidified itself into history as one of the worst GPU launches from NVIDIA, as the company is battling missing hardware on random GPUs, associated power connector failures, and, probably most importantly, an extremely overpriced reseller market caused by dwindling stock.
While we still don’t have an answer as to why there is such little stock of the Blackwell-based GPUs, we do have some good news, stock has come back as NVIDIA has begun sending out emails to its Priority Access members informing them they have been selected to purchase a new RTX 50-series GPU.
For those who don’t know, NVIDIA’s Priority Access program was introduced in 2022 for the GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 Founders Edition graphics cards, and is an initiative designed to provide a select group of GeForce gamers and creators with the opportunity to purchase high-demand GeForce RTX graphics cards directly from NVIDIA. Users wanting to participate in the initiative must have created an NVIDIA account on or before January 30, 2025, fill out the provided form, and wait for acceptance by NVIDIA.
It appears select members of the Priority Access group are now receiving emails from NVIDIA about available for the latest generation of graphics card, as numerous posts have popped up on the r/NVIDIA subreddit with users sharing the email they received from the company. These emails indicate a new wave of stock availability has arrived, at least for the Founders Edition cards.
