RTX 5000 sales over Discord
Zotac has activated the Discord community to protect RTX 5080 and 5090 graphics cards from Scalper and bring together real users. The company will give priority to active and loyal Discord users within the scope of this campaign. Users will have to interact with the server for participation and complete certain “tasks”. However, messages or fraudulent methods that require low efforts will not be accepted. Zotac will determine the winners by using a random number producer to make this process more fair.
This innovative method aims to prevent the receipt of graphics cards by boots or scalper. In addition, Zotac will follow the serial numbers to prevent abuse in the sales process after determining the winning users and reveal users in case of violations.
The campaign has been welcomed by players, but it was announced that the stocks are quite limited. There are currently only 5 RTX 5080 AMP Extreme Infinite and 5 RTX 5080 SOLID OC models. RTX 5090 is currently not in stock. This reveals once again how high the demand for the graphics cards is.
Zotac’s application through Discord is considered a promising step for players to fairly access the graphics cards. However, it remains uncertain for the time being that the stock shortage will continue and whether other brands will apply similar methods.
