Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 video cards from Zotac and Gainward appear online
Several Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 video cards have appeared on Zotac and Gainward’s websites. The manufacturers will both soon release different RTX 3090 and 3080 video cards. Zotac also comes with two RTX 3070 video cards.
Zotac appears to be coming soon with eight different RTX 30 video cards, it noted Twitter user momomo_us on. Zotac comes with three different three-fan models, for both the RTX 3090 and 3080. Zotac also comes with two RTX 3070 Twin Edge models, both of which have a smaller design with two fans.
Images of the various Zotac video cards have also appeared. For example, Wccftech shared renders of a Zotac RTX 3090, which has three 8-pin connectors. Informatica Cero also publishes a RTX 3080 video card from Zotac, which appears to have two 8-pin connectors. Videocardz publishes images of an RTX 3070 Twin Edge video card, among other things.
The video cards shown do not use a 12-pin connection for power. Nvidia confirmed the arrival of that connector earlier this week. Previous rumors have indicated that Nvidia may only be using the 12-pin connector for its own Founder’s Editions.

RTX 3090 and 3080 video cards have also appeared from Gainward, VideoCardz reports. This manufacturer also shares specifications on its product pages, which correspond to previously leaked specifications. For example, the manufacturer seems to confirm that the RTX 3090 has 5248 cuda cores and 24GB of gddr6x memory. The RTX 3080, in turn, is said to have 4352 cuda cores and 10GB of video memory. Both chips are made according to the specifications on a 7nm process, but it is not known for which foundry Nvidia produces its GPUs.
Gainward’s Phoenix video cards both have three displayport 1.4a connections and an HDMI 2.1 connector. The GPUs also receive second-generation ray tracing cores and third-generation Tensor cores. The RTX 3090 gets a new NVLink connection. The RTX 3080 lacks NVLink support. The video cards both support pci-e 4.0.
Nvidia will host a GeForce live stream on September 1. The company will likely officially present its upcoming video cards on that date.
