Decent deal on RTX 3080 20GB on ebay - $30 per GB

So I was shopping for extra 3090s, I noticed a seller listing RTX 3080 with 20GB VRAM for $600. I decided to message them about the import tax and I didn't realize they handle it. So the price on their ebay page is the price you pay for the item. No import tax.

I took a gamble and bought 2 of them, and they actually work! They ship from China so it took a few weeks to get here, but it was worth it.

From a cost perspective it's the best I found for VRAM ($30/GB). That's about $15 LESS per GB of VRAM compared to the 3090, which means it's about 40% cheaper per GB. The mem bandwidth is ~750GB/s (about 200 less than 3090), but it's still a really good deal for supported CUDA GPUs. That's what makes this so unique, you are getting hardware that's still supported.

Keep in mind these also require 2x 8PIN PCIE PSU cables, just like the 3090. Also note, I powercapped them to 265W each in the OS.

For the price of 2x 3090 you can get 80 GB of VRAM with a little less mem bandwidth, I think that's a fair trade!
