RTX 3080 for playing in 4K
The Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 TRINITY OC LHR is one of the first graphics cards on NVIDIA Ampere architecture. This second generation RTX architecture brings its share of optimizations, which the RTX 3080 will benefit from in the best conditions thanks to its 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and its 8704 CUDA cores. Looking for a 4K UHD video game experience with ray tracing? The RTX 3080 is for you.

This model takes advantage of Zotac’s know-how in terms of cooling with the IceStorm 2.0 system: the clever combination of 3 11-blade fans, aluminum radiators and larger heat pipes allow better air circulation and therefore optimal cooling for unleash the full power of the GPU. Are you a fan of subtle RGB? The Zotac Spectra 2.0 utility is there to control the lighting of your favorite component.

NVIDIA Ampere: the second generation RTX
With the Ampere architecture, NVIDIA not only offers a significant performance gain over the previous generation, but also took the opportunity to greatly improve RTX technologies as well as the performance and number of RT and Tensor cores, Computing units dedicated respectively to ray tracing (which simulates the physical behavior of light for cinematographic rendering) and to assistance in 3D graphics rendering via the Deep Learning Super Sample (DLSS). The results at stake? More fluidity and a reduction in the impact of ray-tracing on the number of frames.

RTX IO technology
In addition to its Ampere architecture for its GeForce RTX 30 series, NVIDIA unveiled RTX IO technology, a solution that allows data transmission directly from the storage medium (like your SSD) to the RTX GPU, without going through the processor! Clearly, part of the graphics card can relieve the processor of certain data processing tasks (such as decompression of textures) thus avoiding a bottleneck in the CPU cores and therefore benefiting from even better performance.
