No doubt this is something they've done on purpose. Can see myself being time limited in the use of one of these in precisely 5 months time. I was hoping to grab a 3080 to last me years at ultra wide res (and potentially whatever res a future hdr1000 120fps ultra wide monitor under £1000 takes). Low vram has me worried it won't and has me considering the 3090... Specs wise and price wise, the 3080 with more vram would've been the most ideal for me. 3090 value proposition doesn't look great looking at the specs.

Most of us also know what there doing
There making the 3080 cheap as possible by using less Vram as pricing the card for around £150 less equals to far more sales so far more profit for them
Lots more people would buy a £750 10GB 3080 then a £900 20GB 3080
Great to see cards 112mm wide!
gives hope for a card with block that will fit in the original o-11 dynamic case XD
Yes am keeping hold of my 2080ti till i see what happens
One the main reasons is am waiting to see what stock there is with the crazy pricing on supply & demand that goes with it

100w short to use the 3080, so will need a new PSU as well and they are also overpriced at the moment.. dang
regardless buy now to avoid out of stock or when prices go nuts, everyone will be buying and when demand goes up with short stock thanks to covid, everything will be silly expensive
I was worried about these fitting in my o11 air case (same width as dynamic)
10gb on the 3080 and 24gb on the 3090 pretty much forces you to wait for a 20gb 3080, a 3080ti or buy a 3090 if you're at 4k and want it to last I'd think? 6 series was the last from memory they gimped the vram.
Coming from a 1080, two generations later, I wouldn't expect the same model to have only 2gb extra.

Official product pages are live on Gainward's website for the 3090 and 3080
These are not for me.
It helps if the card is gold and black in colour for me.
Gainward is posting board TGP, the TDP is about 10 to 15% lower than TGP. But yes it will still be a decent chunk more than the 2080 super

Pretty sure you can run a vega 64 on a 650w which is around the same power draw as these.
The plan for having less VRAM and therefore a "cheap" 3080 is a great idea! I'll happily pay £500 for a 10GB 3080.
Problem is it wont be "cheap" it will be at least the price of the 1080Ti at launch. And that came with 11GB nearly 4 years ago! So no, they can ram it.
Hold your nerve
Wait for news about the 20GB 3080s.
