Micro Center

Micro Center is now asking customers to show photo ID and sign a declaration promising a purchased Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card will stay in the United States, including disclosing where it will be installed. The policy reflects the chip export controls the US has placed on advanced hardware, as retailers enforce compliance at the point of sale. The story is drawing wide discussion among PC builders, many of whom see it as an intrusive burden on ordinary domestic buyers.
