    Its strange that 3070ti have more memory than 3080 and 3080ti.

    Probably something to do with the bus arrangement? I agree its weird and its probably a design limitation.

    Because clearly we didn't have enough SKUs.

    Nice. Scalpers will appreciate these new avenues of income.

    Vram is not always the winning point tbh i don't think 3080 bottleneck Vram even in 4k content which its designed for

    still 3080 is a better buy,for the gpu and wider bus.

    I'm sure they've all been claimed already by miners in backdoor deals with distributers. In other words, this release means nothing to gamers.

    Marketing, pure and simple. More vram = more sales at higher prices regardless if GPU is capable of utilizing it (like the 2060 with 12gb).

    to be fair more is technically better but even with a million of them we still can't buy one for MSRP unless they have hundreds of thousands(if not millions) of them in stock

    3080ti is 8k gpu
    3080 is 4k gpu

    Like the awful Nvidia FX series. Only the FX5900 was a good card, the rest and especially the LE versions were crap. I remember having an FX5700LE 256MB (that was a lot, but 64-bit mem bus and slow as hell!) which could barely run EverQuest 1 with any shadows enabled. Good and bad times. :p Good thing that card didn't cost me a kidney. Even if the FX5200LE would be released today it would go for $500+ just because....
