Yeah this sucks. I'm absolutely not interested in a 3080 with more RAM but I would be if it also had higher performance. Of course we won't know until it's already too late.
Personally I can't really imagine a straight 3080 with double the RAM. It would have to be either a 3080ti or use GDDR6, which would be stupid.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
