NVIDIA is currently testing a new program named “Verified Priority Access.” It allows gamers and content developers to purchase an RTX 4090 graphics card without having to seek one in stock. The program appears to be a knockoff of EVGA Priority Access, which provided verified members with privileged early access to the EVGA queue system and, as a result, the opportunity to reserve a new GPU.
It appears that the NVIDIA programme is only available for the Founders Edition only in a few regions. The invitation should appear in GeForce Experience, so if you aren’t using it, there won’t be one for you.
The VPA will be accessible in the countries listed below:
LDLC (France, Italy, and Spain)
Best Buy (United States)
Scan (United Kingdom)
NBB (Germany & Netherlands)
NVIDIA has not announced the number of invites that will be handed out or the methodology that will be used to identify “gamers.” We can only hope that GeForce Experience does not look at our financial information.
We know it’s often challenging to purchase a new product close to launch date for a variety of reasons. Today, we’re testing a program we call verified priority access – which will give a limited number of GeForce gamers & creators an opportunity to purchase a GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card.
Invited users receive a GeForce Experience in-app notification that generates a unique URL – connecting invitees to a Founders Edition partner in select regions. Currently, testing for verified priority access includes: Best Buy (United States), Scan (United Kingdom), NBB (Germany & Netherlands), and LDLC (France, Italy, and Spain).
