well let's roll those benchmarks straight up getting into the 1080p numbers and out of the box this card does perform pretty similar to that of the founders and also compared to that of the tough gaming which we recently had through here at tech yes city but one thing that i will mention about 1080p gaming with an rtx 3080 cardis that you might want to seriously consider buying one of these cards if you're going to go with 1080p gaming as we see in some of the titles we are starting to get hit with a cpu bottleneck and this was tested on a 10 900 which pretty much the best you can get for gaming right now.
but if we move over to 1440p this is where the differences do start to expand from the 2080 ti to the 3080 and the good news is here is if you're an ultra wide gamer or a super ultra wide 1440p gamer then you can definitely benefit even more so than the regular 16x9 1440p numbers that you're seeing here now in terms of the zotac versus the other two cards at 1440p very similar story there's not a whole lot of difference to be gained out of going over one card over.
the other that you see here in the graph though stepping things up to 4k it was pretty much the same story as 1440p except minus pretty much all the cpu bottlenecks that may occur at 1440p and so this is where this card really does shine in terms of the 3080 standpoint itself and that is 4k gaming and and also quickly throw up some rtx benchmarks for you and quickly show the encoder versus the previous two generations where i feel like the encoder this time around hasn't been improved a whole lot over the second series rtx 2000 series cards.
but that was a pretty big improvement over the 10 series card so if you want to use the nvidia encoder it's definitely going to do a good job and you've also got av01 decoding now built on to the 3082 speaking of the differences between this and the founders and the azus tough this is going to be one of the most important questions probably on your mind if you're looking at this model in particular versus say the other models out there now the tough gaming that came through and that blew me away i'm not going to sit here in the review of the zotac card and say that the tough gaming wasn't impressive that is the most impressive card.
i have seen come through here and especially hitting at msrp and being a cheaper entry-level card in terms of pricing but then providing the performance that did as well as the noise and the overclocking that thing was really good extremely hard to beat now this car doesn't unfortunately beat the tough gaming in terms of noise as well as cooling but one thing that it does do is does offer a bit of a smaller footprint if you're trying to fit it into a different build which i will put the measurements up on the screen hereford.
this gpu in particular another thing about the zotac gaming card is out of the box the fan profiles are pretty much perfect you don't want to use a different fan profile if you're gaming because it's going to either create more noise or the temperatures will run a bit hotter i found this magical level of 69 degrees at 69 fan speeds was doing an excellent job of not only keeping the noise at a sweet spot for this particular model card but also keeping the temperature just under that magical level of 70 degrees and even in one of the benchmarks i did.
when i was playing around with undervolting we even got 69 fps so what about the overclocks and for me personally more importantly the under vaulting i'm going to say this card under vaults well i think any 30 series card is going to undervolt quite well and for me personally i've been using these cards and i do prefer under vaulting them because it's going to save you a bit more power on your power consumption in which in turn should save you money on your power bill but it's also going to keep the card cooler and it's going to run quieter.
which is an important thing and you're not going to lose much fps at all this car did lose a couple of fps in horizon zero dawn when i tested the under vaulting and then on the flip side when i went on to overclocking it was limited to around a megahertz core clock but the memory did go quite highto around 500 megahertz so over 10 gigahertz on that display which does look pretty impressive when you're playing your games but when you do overclock it the power consumption does start to run out of control and you're only really gaining a few extra fps i think for these cards the 1800 megahertz under volt is not just a sweet spot in terms of the efficiency curve for the gpu itself but it's also a great thing for someone.
who's going with a high-end power supply with low ripple suppression so you've got to remember when they designed these cards out of the box they designed them to work on pretty much any power supply with the rating that they're recommending so they can say a bronze rated 750 watt power supply is going to do the job even if it's got a lot higher ripple than say a corsair rmi 850 which will have a lot better ripple suppression than a lot of power supplies out there so when you're using a power supply like that you can then in turn give this card a nice good undervolt with clean stable power and it should respond pretty well and so that's.
why i recommend undervolting especially if you're going to get a cat like this and especially if you've got a good power supply anyway moving through the card itself you've got two eight pin connectors so you don't need the nvidia 12 pinto two eight pin splitter or of course if your power supply has got that direct 12 pin connector then you're going to need 2 8 pins so that's located roughly to just off center of the cardin the pcb itself which when we've taken the cooler off we can see that this is using a very similar design to the pcb of the founders card now another thing is too at the back of the card for those who want to know about the capacitors.
it does have six of the larger capacitors so there has been a lot of drama surrounding the caps used and the overclocks and the stability and when i was doing all the benchmarks as well as playing a bit of modern warfare which is a pretty strenuous game i like to play that on all the cards for quite a while this did not crash once so whatever zotac is doing here they'redoing a good job at least the sample i've got here is pretty stable that being said however if you do have a problem zotac say that they do provide an extended four-year warranty at least for people in australia.
so it's always good to have four years on an investment like this which is pretty much what itis at this stage if you're getting into high-end gaming and you want to drop this kind of money on this card you definitely would want a pretty decent warranty so it's good to see that they are backing the product with a solid warranty the final thing to go over with this card right here is i was going to say the rgb of course we've got to go over the rgb we've got zotac gaming rgb on the side and on the rear which you can control with their included software.
they call this firestorm and you install the app and then you can change it and even sync it with other rgb software if you want toad the good thing is with the software you can do more than just tune the rgb you can tune the card itself and another good thing is after you'redone setting up your rgb whether you want to turn it off completely or not you can then close down and uninstall the software and your settings will be saved into the graphics card itself which is a good thing and going through the rear output of this card.
you've got one hdmi 2.1 which is essential for your lg oled 120 hertz 4k gaming experience if you want to go that route which i do use personally and it's really good then you've got three displayport outs too however the this is the standard design and the for instance the board partners can implement more ports where we did see with the tough gamingfor example two hdmi 2.1 outs so this is exactly like the standard founders output design.
if you want to get more display out then you might want to go with a different card and with all that out of the way it's finally time to give you guys the raw conclusion on the zotac trinity and what do i think of it should this be the card that you consider getting if you're after a 30 series card now i've compared this to two other cards here so far i've also got one more in the pipeline and the tough gaming is still coming out on top of the 3080 series i'm not going gonna sit here and if you just come out of the bush i'm not gonna beat you up and put you back in the bush that's not me not gonna beat you around the bush basically the zotac trinity however what it does dogood is out of the box it does work the noise and the temperature levels were mediocre.
i would like to see them come down but if this is a card that's coming in at msrp and especially in australia if you can get this for one of the cheapest sort of entry level rtx 3080 cards versus the others out there then it will do the job and i think that's what you've come here to know about the zotac trinity is it a card worth buying and honestly if this was the only rtx 3080 card i could get then i'd be happy with it it does a decent job but does have its limitations where it doesn't overclock that well and also compared to the founders it's coming in with lower temperature levels but does make a little bit more noise and for me personally.
when i'm looking for gpus i'm usually looking for one that brings in really good value so wherever you live around the world if this is in stock say for instance for some other gpus that aren't in stock and they may have a huge back order on them this one comes up you want to know is it good yeah it's pretty solid it'll do the job and if it's in stock and it's the right price then i would definitely go for it if you've also got any questions or comments about this rtx 3080 or anything in general then be sure to drop a question down below or just a comment down below too.
i love it when you guys comment lovereading those thoughts and opinions as always and speaking of thoughts and pieces we've got the question of the day here which comes from rooks and they ask a 650 watt power supply for a 30 80 question mark i thought it needs at least 750 what and the power supply thing is i think nvidia did the 750 watt because they know how many mediocre 650 watts there are out there there's i've seen 650 watts that are really probably only a true 550 or 500 watt and that's even from decent brands so.
i think they give the 750 watt just to make sure that hey you're not going to have problems with a cpu and a gpu that aren't overclocked out of the box but the 650 watt power supply that i ordered in the other video that's going to be absolutely fine for a3080 and also a uh the cpu the 10 700 f that i ordered as well i mean from the top of my head this whole system will probably juice around 420 to 430 watts while we're gaming so 650 watt power supply should be absolutely fine. All right Thank you guys.
