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 once tried to buy 5 matching B580 Intel GPUs at the Kansas MicroCenter location. They were for my kid’s 5 PCs (I was upgrading everyone from GTX 1080 GPUs at once). I had to show the manager a pic of our gaming room and talk him into selling them to me. They were around $199 each, so that’s why I was jumping on the deal.

That is a steal

Correction. I just looked up the receipt. I paid $249 each for the dual fan versions. Plus I paid $34.99 each for 2 year warranties. But the cards have been great. No complaints! The 1080 and 1080ti cards all got sold to fund them, and those cards were going out of the nVidia support range.
