Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity LHR, 10GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP

Die ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity ist das Einstiegsmodell unter den GeForce-RTX-3080-Grafikkarten des Herstellers, kann jedoch wie die teuren Modelle mit einem mächtigen 2,5-Slot-Kühler und gleich drei riesigen 90-mm-Lüftern sowie einer schicken RGB-Beleuchtung auf sich aufmerksam machen. Wie sich das etwa 850 Euro teure Modell in Sachen Performance, Stromhunger und Lautstärke-Verhalten schlägt, das klärt unser heutiger Hardwareluxx-Test.

ZOTAC offers a nice product with the Trinity. It is a healthy-looking product with some solemn cooling applied. The three fan cooler manages to keep temps below the reference design as well as keeping acoustics are normalized levels. What we found odd though was the performance level; this product performed slightly under founder edition baseline. We have seen that with more products lately:

Zotac prices their new RTX 3080 Trinity very competitively. It comes at $699, which means there's no price increase for the bigger cooler. You also get adjustable RGB lighting, if that's what you fancy—the Founders Edition only has a white muted glow. On the other hand NVIDIA's FE is one of the sexiest graphics card designs out there, but supply seems to be limited. Zotac's Trinity is a good alternative, especially if you want to reduce noise levels. Last but not least, Zotac just announced that they are including up to five years of warranty with the Trinity, three years by default, an additional two years after registration.
