Dark Matter GeForce RTX30 graphics cards from Zotac - ultra-dark finishes.
Zotac has announced a limited-edition graphics card featuring a super-black finish. The paint job is exceptionally black, absorbing up to 99.4 percent of visible light, according to the manufacturer.
Zotac has a website and movies highlighting the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti AMP Extreme Holo Limited Edition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge Extreme Black Matter Limited Edition, and one of its small micro PCs with a similar paint job - the Zotac Zbox Magnus One Extremely Black Material Limited Edition.
The good news is that Zotac is currently holding a competition in which they are giving away a super-black Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and RTX 3070, a tiny PC, and twenty T-shirts. The bad news is that if you don't win, the only way to obtain one of them is to apply for your own bespoke spray job. Zotac is not planning to sell these cards.

Had a Gigabyte RTX 280 had to put a AIO on it as the fans would not stop running at full speed when playing games, all the time over 4000 RPM sent for rma GIGABYTE did nothing but send it back and said they could not replicate it it, would not spin intill it reached 60c then full speed no curve fan settings would do anything so i decided to take the fans of replace with AIO never again will i get a Gigabyte product

See the good side... You will be able to buy a 4060 when some will reach the store lol
Personaly i would choise another brand for your 3060ti, i have replaced the defectives Zotac by Aorus (or Gigabyte in some country) they are more aviable right now and seem better... at least for now, no problem with them.
MSI is a good brand, Asus a notch less...
Oh i have no orders in i just wait till i can get one retail close~ish to msrp . Funny thing is i got that 1060 on the last legs of the last mining craze and the zotac card was 260 .. every other brand was 320 + and any radeon rx 580 or 570 500+ :p . about Gigabyte i can not say i am a fan anything gigabyte i owned or a friend owned eventually just died . Nforce 2 mb (friend owned) , 7600 gt ( mine ) z77 -ud5 (mine ) , and a friends mb on 939 slot i do not remember but especially after the z77 i will will always choose another brand instead of gigabyte always even if it means paying a bit more , that said i know that i might have been just lucky with gigabyte and the sample size of mine means nothing :p . Still choosing gb nowdays makes me really uneasy :p.
