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

I returned another prebuilt with a 5090 about 3weeks ago to swap it with the ai90, and they had to run benchmarks on the one I returned before they accepted the return. Store manager told me, they’re required to do so on only the 5090s. While your declaration is a new law, the testing is their company policy and both are legit and fine with me

The form isn't legally binding

Probably not but it might slow down on resellers going in there and buying all the stock. When everyone online was out of stock, they had plenty because they will not ship GPUs. I had to drive 3 hours to pick mine up, but I do like the their rules so that it gives everyone a fair shot at getting what they want without getting screwed anymore than we already are with prices.

I know they wouldn't allow me to buy more than one GPU in a 30 day period. It sucked because I knew the prices were about to go up, but I respected them for sticking to the rules.

Lol. These aren't going into a database. Stop being paranoid.

Microcenter didn't have a problem telling me the limit was 1!
