ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity OC LHR 12GB (ZT-A30820J-10PLHR)

A large, power-hungry, high-performance, near-top-level graphics card from the 2021 Zotac Trinity line. It is built on the Nvidia Ampere microarchitecture, operates at a frequency of 1725 MHz, the amount of video memory is an impressive 12 GB, and peak power consumption reaches 350 W. ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity OC LHR 12GB belongs to the upper price category and is designed for demanding PC gamers, enthusiasts and e-sportsmen who need the highest frame rate in all popular games of 2018-2023 at WQHD or 4K resolution.

Due to the greater number of active functional units and the use of accelerated GDDR6X memory, this model demonstrates an almost 30% increase in performance compared to the RTX 3070. In addition to the high rated power and large memory reserve, the RTX 3080 supports several proprietary NVIDIA technologies that significantly affect performance. First, it's a unique ray tracing technology that fundamentally changes lighting in games.

Secondly, this is the proprietary DLSS smart image scaling technology, with the help of which the game artificially increases the nominal image and at the same time increases the average FPS. Visually, the ZOTAC RTX 3080 Trinity modification stands out due to its custom IceStorm 2.0 cooling system (3 turntables + radiator + heat pipes) with support for semi-passive operating mode and a small neat backlight. In contrast, the black protective cover is designed in a monochromatic, minimalist style. The metal backplate on the back of the case prevents the circuit board from bending.
