ASL RTX 4060 Spirit level

Is it just me or are graphics card manufacturers going to absurd levels to stand out nowadays?

When it comes to picking out your next GPU there are always many factors to consider, and for most of us this requires some serious thought. Likely this involves some benchmark comparisons, an assessment of your gaming requirements, perhaps a consideration towards power draw if you’re one of those people that is determined to cling on to an ageing PSU. However, once you’ve made your key decisions and picked out a card that suits your needs, a whole world of design options opens up to you. Perhaps you’re looking for something to suit a particular aesthetic, or small form-factor, or god forbid, something subtle. 

These are all valid concerns, and AIBs have taken notice. A cursory glance at the GPU market confirms that design is a key selling point when it comes to graphics card variations, and it’s not difficult to find a whole host of different features, some practical and some aesthetic, to separate each offering from the pack.
