What's the point? Consumers who don't know their way around hardware won't know who NVidia is, or why the Battlebox standards are important, so they most likely won't be swayed just by this little sticker. And people who do know their stuff will be looking at the specs of the system and making their own judgement anyway.

Just a ploy to get NVidia into more OEM machines by tempting them with more marketing tools?

No SSD performance? There are some seriously slow SSDs around. No RAM speed? Kinda important for Ryzen. No PSU quality requirement? That's where they save the most bucks by using trash. No Sound or peripheral requirements? They might as well ship them with no sound card and a ball mouse.
I know some points I'm picking on might seem unimportant, but I would expect a big company like Nvidia to be a bit more specific when doing something like this.

The only thing that would explain it is if things change as time goes on, otherwise this is a very strange move indeed.
