And here's a quote from a 3080 owner:

Well I'm a 3080 owner too and I don't really give a hoot that the 3060 has more VRAM. I'm sure it'll upset some people but it's not a universally accepted norm. And like I've said if there was a 20gb 3080 that cost more (absolute bare min would be $100 usd more, but I'd wager more like $150-300) then I wouldn't have bought it anyway.

Its enough. I don't expect the 20GB version to really boost performance in games right now.

The switch?! Those games look like they are still stuck on N64 graphics come on. What is it anyway, 720p?
