ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 Trinity Holo Custom-Design Graphics Card Rendered

[delshay]

Looks like a good candidate for deshrouding.

If the shroud is made of metal you can utilized it as a heatsink, this is what I did to both my R9 & Vega 56 Nano cards. Modification is internal, so you can't see it from the outside.

Ewww, tf happened to Zotac... That two tone RGB is fugly as hell and the more depressing part is children and manchilds will hop on to purchase these, due to showing off in reddit for karma with that obtuse "bUt mUh PcMr RgB" ideology... Turing line looked the best.

That plainest looking RTX 3070 got my attention. Not paying extra for fancy lights and colors.

So it is 7nm after all. And can't be EUV because of the size. Can't be Samsung.

Yeah, that has me confused - so are we thinking TSMC's older N7FF process or the same constrained 7FF process that's currently serving Zen2 and Navi?
Samsung's 7nm is, to the best of my understanding, not big enough for GA102 either.

I'm listening to

at the moment....

non-Founders Edition cards, from board partners like ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte, will be powered by two 8-pin connectors

and here i see three 8 pints connectors?

And so it begins....

I was kinda hoping that maybe, just maybe, this time around, we would NOT have to sort through like a gazillion different sku's from every friggin mfgr and their brothers, with only very miniscule differences between each model, and therefore have to take days upon days to try to be 100% certain we are buying the model that has the exact features we want/need, but oh well, obviously this trend will continue for the foreseeable future.....

I know every mfgr wants to grab their fair share of the market, and that's fine (competition is great & helps bring prices down quickly), but surely this can be accomplished without the clusterf*ck assortment approach...

SImple don't buy. Wait for the SUPERS. 3080 with 10GB is useless for something expected to last 3 years. 3090 with 24 is overkill. 3070 is replaced by fullchip +512 CUDA 16GB at the same price soon after.
Why would someone want to buy now.

 

[rtwjunkie]

All of you are assuming there will be a Super. Just because Nvidia did it one generation does not indicate if or in which follow-on generations it will be done again.

Just get the 3090. We didn't saw 2080 Ti Super, so I'm guessing it's granted you will have the best of the series.

And it's almost as if you're assuming they won't. They built the 'Super' and their marketing is probably salivating over the idea with another generation of Super cards.

As for this Zotac card...I won't trust anything from them. I returned my oven of a 1080ti long ago that would heat up badly at idle. I'm pretty sure lots of people had the same problem. Anyhow, I'm ready to see prices and tired of all the hype, crying and bashing from biased parties. I almost don't want to read these articles until real, factual information comes available.

Nope. I just have no evidence they will. People in this thread are openly speaking as if the Super is a given. That’s a huge difference.

 

[biffzinker]

Would the Super only show again if AMD’s RDNA2 cards are too close in competitive performance? A repeat of last time?

Two for the gpu, one for the RGB

 

[kiriakost]

I can hardly understand ZOTAC enthusiasm about better cooling performance.
Toying with bios profiles this is not the answer.

 

[EarthDog]

It looks...interesting.

Zotac...The only card I had from them was a 9800GT and after almost 3 years it was drawing artifacts everywhere when it wasn't lines bugs on the screen...I had to put it into the oven to make it work again a few weeks, then again, then I just gave up.
#mylife but yeah is this brand doing a correct job right now ?

lol, they were doing it then... bad luck is bad luck. Why are you holding a grudge over a card from like, 15 years ago?? Yikes.

It's just from a bad experience I judge a brand. It can be stupid but so far I live it well
In my list I got :
Logitech mouses are not made for the long run : my MX510 right button stopped functioning one day and nothing can be made, she died. Some weeks ago, my brother's MX510 died, same symptom.

MSI motherboards have to be high end or else the BIOS lacks a lot of features : I bought a MSI board with my 3570k when it launched, I didn't buy the top tier motherboard, just something in the middle, not even the budget one and I couldn't access to many OC settings. I contacted the support : If you want more OC settings, buy a premium version... I was like wow. I had my money back from the shop and bought a Gigabyte with the settings I missed on the MSI for the same price xD.

And there is Zotac...well, time goes but how to trust when bad experiences happen ?
I guess it's like those people hating ACER or SEAGATE because the products failed and they were mad too.

 

[zo0lykas]

75W for rgb ? )

just think, 8 years ago when we have r290 i remember msi have lighting version with 3x8 pins connection, and since then nvidia and amd was trying reduce "W" and make less power hungry gpu, 2020 3x8 pin back in game

Two for the gpu, one for the RGB

You do you, but I strongly agree it's stupid.

I have two of those, eBay this is full of spare buttons, can you find a modern mouse with more than four years life cycle ? There is no any.

My overpriced Razer Naga 2014 is still working fine.

Maybe. Maybe I just fear to have an overpriced paperweight after 2 years+ of service after all.
That's why I asked if they (Zotac) do a correct job nowadays.

A repeat from always. They always want to be a step in front of AMD in each category. That's why 1070ti was born. That's why the super were born. It's like an eternal game that i find quite interesting/funny to follow. The existence of the supers/better versions (or maybe the appearance of an entirely new gen) depends in part of how AMD Is doing in each category. Seeing a 3090 already in camera maybe is a comeback of x90 past gens, but looks like a preventive measure against AMD new cards. We'll have some funny/nice competition the next months and interesting reviews from w11zard also

Back in time MX510 was the only mouse surviving within Internet & Coffee public spaces, in that places any hardware gets misused 24/24.
This is more than 12 years old history, the only other competitor was the Microsoft optical mouse.
