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.

It make miner farm more classy...
Zotac is a no go, exept for miner where price per quantity matter, the quality of build dropped it is the worse you can get in NVidia.

I don't own one (i more use Quadro or Radeo Pro) but i have put many from the 3000 serie on side job, when they were aviable, on PC (because it's client choise) and a good 75% come back in RMA only due to bad quality of anything exept NVidia... melted power connector, fan that slow down, stop and don't start again, attachment of the rad that is defective due to screw that have not been screwed enough in factory...
So maybe your experience were good but on volume, it is not the same story.
But also i agree that EVGA is worse.
