What is a 'customer' according to Micro Center? Regarding limits for 5080/5090 launch.
I saw on the launch page that there is a limit of 1 card per customer. How is a customer determined? I see other people mention househould/address, and I want to know if its by address or by credit card or ID or what, as both my wife and I live at the same address but each want a 5080 and want to know if we can both wait…

Will Micro Center be carrying the Nvidia RTX 5090 Founders Edition ?
As the question suggests. Will MC be carrying the FE cards on day of release ? I recall when my "Local" MC opened they were issued a pallet of 4090 FE's. Not sure if that was a one off or not. This was the Indianapolis Store. Thanks in advance.

I can't return an item today (last day) due to the location being far from where I live.
Hello, I need to return an item but I am unable to make it to a Micro Center location because I live far away. I will be able to drive to the closest location tomorrow but today is the deadline of the return policy. What are my options here? Would I be able to return it if I show up tomorrow and explain my situation?

Rules for 5000-series Launch - Make a Decision Please
This whole thing is a mess so far. You've got the official page saying first come, first serve, but my store(Houston) cannot confirm if they will do that or do a lottery. We are almost two weeks away from launch and can't get any straight answers. That is very unhelpful for those like me who have to request days off of…

5080 and 5090
Hello, when the 5000 series cards come out will there be a limit across the whole series? That is, can I buy a 5080 when it comes out and then a 5090 when that comes out after, or is there a limit of one 5000 series in a 30 day period?

PC not powering on when 14 Pin connector is plugged in
Hello, Working on my first home built PC and I have an issues I wanted to run past the community. Last night I installed my Nvidia 2080 Rx into my mobo and power supply, where I tried turning my PC on, it wouldn’t turn on at all!

Is a graphics card required?
I plan to build a new desktop PC primarily for software development. I have decided to use the Ryzen 9 7950X CPU because of its core count and speed. I am a software developer. I am not a gamer, and have never purchased or used a higher end GPU. As I understand it, the "X" at the end of the Ryzen model means it has a build…

Hey there! Here's to hoping I can get some help with picking a graphics card for my PC. Sorry if I'm doing this forum thing wrong, please tell me if so. It's my first time. In case you're wondering, I didn't attach a URL for my PC (even though the top post says to do so) because it's factory prebuilt and I can't find it…

Can I test the GPU I buy in-store after purchase in case it needs RMA?
I just don't want to come down to Houston, drive 3h back home, and then find out it's not working and have to do the 6h trip again. Would be nice if I could buy the GPU, see if it works in store, then go home.

Does anyone know a way to connect PCIe 6-pin cables to mini 6-pin cables for a Mac Pro 5,1?
To give some context….I have a mac Pro5,1 and I am hoping to make it have some kind of RGB glowiness inside. I'm hoping that there happen to be PCIe 2.0 mini 6-pin to 6-pin cables that are also RGB…OR if there are adapters that don't have a ton of wiring so that I can make this happen. OOOORRRRRRR, am I at the point where…

Wire too tight
Bought a prebuilt from microcenter and the wire connected to the graphics card is too tight. When I push the clip, there's no room to wiggle it to come out. Along with trying to unclip it from the motherboard. I need to do this so I can add storage. Will microcenter repair this, since it's their mistake?

Micro Center should carry the Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO
The Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO graphics card is unique in that it is, as far as I'm aware, the only low profile and single slot GPU capable of AV1 encoding and decoding. At least when excluding workstation GPUs. Additionally, it's powered via the PCIE slot, so no separate power connector needed. Model: SA310C-4G

The only issue is, I see the 40 super series are dropping this month. I’d love to grab one on my microcenter credit card, but…

My PC keeps turning off when playing high graphical games, how do I fix this?
Last year, I bought a new RTX 3060 as a graduation gift to myself. However, my PC would shut off whenever I played high-graphical games such as Cyberpunk. I suspected that my power supply unit (PSU) couldn't handle the power draw required by the GPU. To verify that it wasn't an issue with the new GPU, I ran FurMark ROG to…

Why are GPUs so expensive?
CPUs are way cheaper than GPUs, but CPUs have a much harder task. CPUs work a lot harder, have more difficult tasks, are what runs your PC and yet they cost significantly less. Why is this?
