That heavily depends on who you listen to. CIA indeed defines Northern Europe as you describe, including Denmark, plus Iceland. [1] However the United Nations has a different definition, which also includes the Baltics, UK, and Ireland. [2]

The more expensive Gigabyte RTX 3080+ cards had 3x DP 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x HDMI 2.0, which was great even if you could only use 4 of them at the same time due to Nvidia limitations. Unfortunately for the 40 series they stopped offering it a

Logitech has orders of magnitude more experience in manufacturing peripherals than Microsoft. That said, Logitech does make products in a wide price range and the low end isn't competitive with their own high end.
