A bit of a preview of Ampere's review:
Overclocking NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 memory to 20 Gbps is easy

Our sources were kind enough to share some benchmarking results of the GeForce RTX 3080. We found the most interesting topic to be overclocking. It appears that currently, the best RTX 3080 variant is … NVIDIA Founders Edition, only because most AIB cards are still not running at higher TDP.
Full custom Ampere designs are slightly delayed, which might be an important factor when choosing the right model for you. ASUS is not seeding ROG STRIX to reviewers but the TUF Gaming instead. Also, Gigabyte is not yet ready with AORUS branded models. These are all fully custom designs with higher TDP, but for now, it seems that the best choice in terms of power limitations is Founders Edition with a TDP at 370W.
We asked one of the reviewers to do a quick memory overclocking test. This test was on the non-Founders Edition model (so power limited). We heard from other reviewers that some FE samples can’t reach 20.5 Gbps memory speed as the performance is then degrading. The results that we have do replicate such an issue.
Maybe it will be better to wait for the second batch of cards?
