Overview

• Zotac is using its Discord server to sell Nvidia RTX 5080 and 5090 GPUs directly to engaged community members through a raffle system.
• Participants must actively engage in discussions and challenges to qualify, with winners selected via a random number generator.
• The initiative aims to address limited stock and scalping issues, where GPUs are resold at up to three times their MSRP.
• Anti-scalping measures include tracking serial numbers and banning users who attempt to resell GPUs from future raffles.
• While the RTX 5080 is available in limited quantities, the RTX 5090 is currently out of stock, and Nvidia has yet to confirm broader availability for its RTX 50-series GPUs.
