Amazon Limits GPU Sales to Prime Members as Stock Shortages Persist

Nvidia RTX 5000 and AMD RX 9070 GPUs remain out of stock despite Amazon's exclusivity policy aimed at deterring scalpers.

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.
