Zotac and Gainward GeForce RTX 3090 and 3080 graphics cards pictured

Both Zotac and Gainward GeForce RTX 3090 and 3080 graphics cards have been leaked. From the leaked pictures, Zotac has redesigned its cooling solution for the RTX 3000 series and it will launch eight models. Gainward only had its RTX 3090 and 3080 Phoenix graphics cards leaked, but their respective spec sheets confirmed the specifications of both graphics cards.

As reported by @momomo_us, the eight upcoming graphics cards from Zotac are the following: RTX 3090 AMP Extreme, RTX 3090 Trinity HoLo, RTX 3090 Trinity, RTX 3080 AMP Extreme, RTX 3080 Trinity HoLo, RTX 3080 Trinity, RTX 3070 Twin Edge HoLo, RTX 3070 Twin Edge. Although it's not confirmed, it seems that the first to be available will be the Trinity and Twin Edge graphics cards (no HoLo variants included).

The Zotac Trinity graphics cards feature a triple-fan design with an all-black shroud. Additionally, there's a “HoLo” variant that adds RGB features such as RGB stripes across the backplate and a different shroud with RGB stripes on top. The Zotac AMP Extreme graphics cards are similar to the Trinity HoLo ones, but the shroud part with RGB stripes is extended to the left fan.

The Zotac RTX 3070 Twin Edge graphics cards use a smaller dual-fan design. The Twin Edge HoLo variant is similar to the AMP Extreme graphics cards, but with two fans only.

The Gainward leak, shared by VideoCardz, shows the Geforce RTX 3090 Phoenix “Golden Sample” and 3080 Phoenix “Golden Sample” graphics cards. Based on the images, these cards feature three blacks fans in a silver shroud with RGB LEDs and a brownish backplate. Besides getting confirmation on the specifications of both the RTX 3090 and 3080, the spec sheets also tell us that both cards are factory overclocked. The RTX 3090 Phoenix Golden Sample boosts up to 1725MHz while the RTX 3080 Phoenix Golden Sample comes with a boost clock of 1740MHz.

Nvidia is expected to officially introduce the RTX 3000 series on September 1st.
