ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity OC LHR
The Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity OC LHR sits pretty low in Zotac’s hierarchy of cards, coming in below models with more bells-and-whistles like the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 AMP Extreme Holo. It is one of the more plain-looking custom cards on the market, featuring a simple plastic black shroud that houses three fans. It’s a pretty stealthy and minimalist look overall, and the front face of the shroud and fans remain unadorned by any LEDs.
Measuring 317.8 x 120.7 x 58mm, this is a fairly long and thick card, requiring a good three expansion card slots of clearance for its 2.5-slot design. You’ll also want to make sure you’ve got enough room in your case for it, and some cases may even require you to remove the drive cage at the front.
A reinforcing metal frame helps provide some extra rigidity for the card, and also adds a measure of passive cooling for the VRM circuitry. Finally, a metal die-cast backplate covers the rear of the PCB, adding further structural reinforcement and also an illuminated Zotac logo. It’s pretty neat and looks good in person, adding a unique bit of flair to what is otherwise a pretty plain design.
