NVIDIA Offers Free 'Jetson's Leather Jacket' for $10K, 6090 GPU. Fans Confused.
Gamers around the world are scratching their heads at NVIDIA's latest promotion: buy a $10K, 6090 GPU and you'll receive a free clone of Jetson's iconic leather jacket. While some fans are drooling over the prospect of owning this limited edition piece, others are wondering if it's really worth forking out the cash for a space-age piece of tech that requires a nuclear power plant to run smoothly.
We caught up with a few gamers who were eyeing up the promotion and their responses ranged from amusing to downright bewildered.
"I mean, I love Jetson's, don't get me wrong," said one gamer we spoke to. "But $10K for a GPU and then needing a uranium power plant to run it? That's a bit excessive, don't you think? And as for the jacket, I can just cosplay as him if I really want to."
Others were more optimistic, seeing it as an opportunity to get their hands on a rare piece of tech and fashion.
"I've been a die-hard NVIDIA fan for years," said another gamer. "And this promotion is everything I've ever wanted. Not only will I have the most powerful GPU on the market, but I'll look like a total boss in that jacket. It's a win-win."
But the question remains: is it really worth it? 1080p gamers are unlikely to see any noticeable improvement in their gameplay, and the cost of running the GPU alone would set most people back a small fortune.
"I mean, sure, having a Jetson's jacket is cool and all," said one skeptic. "But it's not worth the price of a small house just to get it. I'll stick to my trusty 1060 for now, thanks."
Despite the mixed responses from gamers, NVIDIA remains confident that the promotion will be a success. "We're always looking for ways to innovate and push the boundaries of what's possible with gaming technology," said an NVIDIA spokesperson. "This promotion is just one way that we're bringing our customers the very best in technology and fashion."
So, is the Jetson's leather jacket worth the hefty price tag? That ultimately remains to be seen. But for those with deep pockets and a love of both tech and fashion, this promotion might just be a match made in heaven.
