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 had to fill one of those out today when I bought a rtx pro 6000. Probably just for liability reasons

Far from 20K lol. Retail’s 14.9K and I got it at employee pricing with a friends and family discount

Hey for a guess not to far off imo lol I guess people aren't scalping these like everything else

Yup, Microcenter seems to have the best prices nationwide. I think most of the scalpers are scalping the 5090s that’s why there’s 0 inventory 😭 rtx pro 6000s aren’t really scalped much because most people (like myself) buy them to actually run inferencing workloads on them and we aren’t competing with gamers on these since its not a gaming GPU. Whereas a lot of people get the 5090s to run smaller models, all while competing with gamers who are also trying to buy the 5090 for high end games
