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.
