Linus Tech Tips invests in nuclear power plant to power graphics card, gamers outraged
In a bold move to boost his gaming performance, Linus Tech Tips has taken technology to the extreme by investing $50k in a personal nuclear power plant. The Canadian technology influencer claims that powering his Nvidia 6090 graphics card directly with nuclear energy is 'amazing'. However, not everyone is keen on his innovation. Gamers all around the world have taken to social media to criticize Linus Tech Tips' extreme approach.
Despite the 4700% performance increase, gamers are concerned about the potential risks involved in using nuclear energy. "This is ridiculous," writes Twitter user @gamingdude23, "We love LTT, but our safety comes first. We don't want a repeat of Chernobyl just for a better gaming experience."
Others have voiced their concerns about the environment, particularly the carbon footprint of nuclear power. Facebook user, Susan Williams, commented, "Linus should be investing in renewable energy instead of putting the planet at risk."
Linus Tech Tips has defended his decision and insists that his nuclear power plant is entirely safe and that all precautions have been taken to avoid any risks. In a video posted on his YouTube channel, he said, "I've seen all the concerns about nuclear plants being dangerous, and I can ensure you that we have taken all the necessary precautions to make sure that there's zero percent chance of any danger."
However, many gamers are still not convinced. "This is ridiculous," says hardcore gamer @metalhead086, "Why does he need to use nuclear energy to power his graphics card? I think he's just showing off and trying to be extreme for views."
Linus Tech Tips has not responded to the criticisms and concerns and seems to be fully committed to his nuclear power plant. However, with the gaming community outraged by his latest innovation, it remains to be seen whether he will continue to use nuclear energy to power his graphics card in the long run. In the meantime, Linus stands by his decision and is looking forward to breaking the benchmark records with his new set up.
