Due to the fact that the vast majority of NVIDIA partners sell graphics cards that are all essentially identical aside from their clock speeds or maybe a custom sticker, they're all looking for creative ways to differentiate their products from the competition. They usually do this by adding a hot new game, a really long warranty, a low price, or maybe some other type of value-added software. But every now and then a company goes one step further and does something more innovative. Take Zotac for example.

That being said, I still expect the best value to be in the 3060 configurations of the Nitro 5 2021, as this is still a budget series with a mid-level power and software implemen...
