Yeah. I'm looking to upgrade my 1080, but I'm already running into memory limitations. I was actually considering messaging the guy and seeing if he can make another one like that. The 3080's 10GB isn't very much either, and I really don't want to cool 320 watts (too loud).

I've seen 16GB versions of 3080s in laptops. They only run 150W-165W, so they are slower than desktops. But if RAM is your point, they can be found.

You can set a lower limit on the 3090 to be say 250W or even 200W. Performance will suffer, but you'll have full access to VRAM and it'll be quieter.
