Micro Center requires photo ID and signed no-export pledge to buy gaming GPU

I bought a Range Rover a few years ago and the dealership required the same thing from me. Apparently lots of people were buying them and then shipping them to China to sell "gray market" or something like that. Nothing I had to worry about but I found it strange.

A $5000 GPU with a TDP of 575W isn't the kind of thing that goes in a typical "Gaming PC". I love that it exists though. Can't wait for AMD to release a competitor and get some sane pricing (if AI demand for wafers levels off).
