It does my nut in when they split the SKUs like that.

Don't worry, they'll clarify it all just before launch. The 24GB one will be the 5080 Ti Pro, the 16GB one will be the 5080 Pro Ti. It'll all be beautifully simple.
Tried it last time with the 4080 and the net went mental, then nvidia backpeddled and the lower end version became the 4070ti. I'd be surprised if they tried the same bs again.

I was thinking yesterday that with the 5090 being rumoured at 32GB/512bit it makes absolutely no sense for the 5080 to be 16/256.
Maybe they really are brazen enough to try the "4080 12GB" naming again, but there has to be a 384bit card in the pipeline (and still room for a 20GB/320bit in there later).
Also, for parity with the 4xxx series, a 5070 with less than 16GB would be laughable!

... also if they get around to using the incoming 3GB density chips, then we're looking at 48/512, 36/384, 24/256, 18/192 etc. (the pessimist in me says we're looking at future e.g. 15/160, 12/128 
)
Although I expect it'll be a while before they start using the 3GB densities as they'll be better suited (/better margin) for professional/datacentre cards.

Man of Honour
So uhhh yeah, the 5090 is going to be over £2k at this rate given they already have the 24GB 5080 in the roadmap of release lol. I fully expect that model to be around £1500 or maybe even 4090 price if it's specced to match or slightly beat the 4090, since on paper the 16GB 5080 will be below the 4090.
