Overview
- Amazon has restricted the sale of Nvidia RTX 5080, RTX 5070, and AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs to Prime members, but all restricted models are currently out of stock.
- Non-Prime users attempting to purchase restricted GPUs are redirected to a page encouraging them to join Amazon Prime.
- Amazon has not officially stated that the exclusivity policy is intended to combat scalping, though it is widely perceived as a measure to address the issue.
- Prices for restricted GPUs remain significantly above their MSRPs, with delivery times extending up to two weeks for available models.
- Other companies, including Nvidia and Zotac, have implemented anti-scalping measures like priority access programs, but these efforts have had limited success in improving availability.
