Micro Center demands ID and no-export pledge for RTX 5090 purchases
Original: Micro Center requires photo ID and signed no-export pledge to buy gaming GPU
Micro Center is now requiring customers to show photo ID and sign a declaration promising the RTX 5090 will stay installed in the US before they can buy the flagship gaming GPU. Buyers must disclose where the card will be installed and pledge not to export it. The move reportedly reflects pressure from Nvidia to curb gray-market exports of the scarce, high-demand card, and shoppers are debating whether the policy is reasonable or overreach.
Why now: The unusually strict purchase requirements for a consumer GPU are unusual and fuel debate over export controls and scalping.
