MSI Adds GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING Z TRIO and GAMING TRIO PLUS

MSI Adds GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING Z TRIO and GAMING TRIO PLUS

MSI silently added two new RTX 3080 SKUs, the GAMING Z TRIO and GAMING TRIO PLUS. All cards look and are the same components-wise. However, there are subtle differences. 

The differences seem to be slightly revised venting holes on the display connector side, and the backplate is a notch different. The PLUS model has the aforementioned changes. The dimensions (323 x 140 x 56mm) are identical to the original except for the weight. The GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio weighs 1,565g, while the GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Z Trio 10G and GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Trio Plus 10G check-in at 1,537g.

The TRIO Z however has received a slightly faster Boost clock frequency and increased power allowance to 370W. No clue as to why MSI decided to create two completely new SKUs for it. Both graphics cards support up to four monitors simultaneously. The display outputs layout remains untouched with one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Pricing for the GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Z Trio 10G and GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Trio Plus 10G is currently unknown.

I'd like to flash my Gaming X Trio to a Z, 30W extra is always something.
That would be possible, right?

You could, but the VRM limits in 3080 Trio X may be reached, as it has some vacant spots for VRM components on the board. I am guessing that 3080 Trio Z has those locations fully populated.

Not yet due to fear of bricking an unreplaceable card :)


I literally flashed my Palit RTX 3090 GamingPro with every possible BIOS which is available hahaha and no issues, currently running KPE XOC BIOS as my daily BIOS, capped at 75% for gaming and for rendering at 55%

Just don't worry there, you shouldn't brick your GPU unless you do something stupid, there are several guides on that

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

Ah, well in that case I won't bother.

That's what I've heard but I guess one can never be too careful :)
