Miners with wallets chock full of cash really had a lot of market power.
And even if you could buy one for gaming, it wouldn’t have made sense compared to thewhich features more cores and a wider memory bus. That means the RTX 3080 20GB would actually be a downgrade over a 3080 12GB. And hey, few games make use of more than 12GB of VRAM anyway.
An RTX 3080 20GB would make hve a good choice for a prosumer working with large data sets, but why would Nvidia sell it in that market when it can push them towards an RTX 3090 with 24GB? So while an RTX 3080 20GB might look good on paper, the card would have ended up being rather pointless when compared to its sibling cards.
The fact the card existed goes to show just how much market power miners had. At a time when gamers had to pay exorbitant prices for cards, the GPU makers were quietly more than happy to sell to miners behind the scenes. Chris' gaming experiences go back to the mid-nineties when he conned his parents into buying an 'educational PC' that was conveniently overpowered to play Doom and Tie Fighter.
