Correction, Nvidia would rather you buy a 5080 now, then later get FOMO over a 24GB 5080ti, sell the 5080 to buy a 5080ti and act like the upgrade somehow didn't cost that much, since the sale of a 5080 somehow offsets a lot of the cost.
It's the patented double-dip, they got it working for 4090 and are trying it for 5090.
Eh? There was no double-dip on the 4090?
