ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity

In this review, we benchmark the GeForce RTX 3080 from ZOTAC, a very lovely customized yet reference clocked product. It attempts to offer close to reference performance, good acoustics as well as a friendly design. All priced rationally as well, we hope as the initial stock ran out faster then I can spell my name.

One of the things that I didn’t really expect when testing both the Celsius+ Prisma S24 and S28 models by Fractal Design was the significantly lesser noise levels compared to the S36 (roughly 8.5dBA less for the S24 and 7.5dBA less for the S28) which are also what makes them far more ideal for people who do care about this. Cooling efficiency on the other hand was much closer than expected with the S28 probably delivering the best price/performance ratio of the three (of course the lack of protective plates for the fins still has me puzzled).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 – Launch Day Reviews

Last week NVIDIA officially launched their RTX 30 series starting with the GeForce RTX 3080. It provided great performance at a great price and really made gaming at 4K enjoyable. Now a week later we have the GeForce RTX 3090. The naming of the card might make you think it sits higher in the product stack (and it does), but it really sits in a category all its own.

ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity

It won’t beat the Founders Edition out of the box, and with its very, very small overclock you will get pretty close to the RTX 3080 FE performance. But, the ZOTAC custom GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity runs 8C cooler at stock settings (72C versus 79C) and has a triple-fan setup that won’t blow hot air up into your CPU (like the RTX 3080 FE does, if you didn’t want that).

In this review, we benchmark the GeForce RTX 3080 SG (=short for Serious Gaming) from none other than GALAX. Armed with a triple fan based blade wing cooling design this card is to seriously out some performance. Galax also adds a one clip booster, and an extra fan you could place at the backside for some extra chilled air.

MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO 10G

The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio builds on NVIDIA’s strengths with a powerful new board design capable of powering the RTX 3080 with up to 525 W of power even though the chip’s TDP is around 340 W. The card sticks to conventional 8-pin PCIe power inputs, and its cooling solution features multiple aluminium fin stacks held together by seven 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU at the base; these are ventilated by 95 mm fans.

ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC

The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 OC retains the military-grade metal aesthetic characteristic of the brand. It uses a meaty cooling solution that features multiple fin stacks which are ventilated by a trio of ASUS’s new-generation Axial-Tech fans. There’s lavish use of metal on both the cooler shroud and the backplate. The cooler is longer than the PCB underneath.
