Custom NVIDIA RTX 3080 From China Packs 20 GB of Memory

Chinese manufacturer Fengpo has released a customized version of the GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, featuring 20 GB of memory, which doubles the standard 10 GB. NVIDIA never officially offered this configuration, though it had once considered higher-memory variants of the RTX 3080 before shelving the idea, according to VideoCardz.

The Fengpo card uses a standard gaming-oriented cooling system. The box mentions AI computing, but it's safe to say that the custom GPU is designed for gamers rather than large-scale data centers. 

Chinese tech blogger known as GPU Girl tested the card in games and benchmarked against the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, with the RTX 3080 20GB outperforming the competitor.

Further inspection showed that Fengpo’s RTX 3080 20GB is equipped with the PNY Verto RTX 4090’s cooler, sporting a massive triple-slot heatsink. Its 20 GDDR6X modules are distributed across both sides of the PCB.

In China, the modified card is priced at around $450. Does that sound like a fair price?
