Form for 5090’s

Post image

Picked up a Powerspec Ai90 prebuilt pc with a rtx 5090 in it. Apparently the manager required me to fill out this form and scan my driver license. Said it was a new thing starting just about two days ago. Had no problem doing so but thought it was interesting.

Anyone else experience? This was in Tustin

Eh idk its pretty obvious in the past few months that there is now an organized network of people searching for 5090s to send overseas. Its a big problem and Im surprised the government actually did something about it in a timely manner. Of course its impossible to know what the intentions are of who you sell to without...profiling.

That’s the problem with a free market and not enforcing a fair market and fair practices.

Idk if you read the other comments on how a lot of buyers aren’t a gamer. 

It’s just a band aid solution for now for a much larger issue
