NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Now Better Visualized with 3D Renders
The bubble busted over the weekend when photos leaked of the alleged GeForce RTX 3080, the new front and back fan design is pretty unique. A Reddit user now has made some 3D renderings of the card, pretty good ones as well.
Reddit user u/JDSP_ created some the renders, the renders lack power connectors, NVLink, and PCB material but otherwise I'd say that is a pretty accurate visual of how the news cards could look.

compared to classic AIB non-reference cards, that blow the hot air everywhere, I don't see how this particular problem with hot air going up to RAM modules is a problem. It's going there anyway unless you have a GPU with blower fans. And we don't because we hate blower fans, we prefer cooler card and hotter...everything else.
PS. Oh yea, I think this is fake (not render, the original images that "leaked" ). It's way to ugly for nVidia to make. AMD, maybe.

Hot air would eventually rise to that area anyway, pushing it straight there where a case should have an outtake fan makes sense and would result in a working airflow.
Judging from the direction of the fan blades (one clockwise, one counter cw), it pulls in air from the bottom (above where usually the PSU sits) and pushes the hot air upwards (toward the DRAM modules in most motherboards). Since the fans are not blower type, you will need a decent amount of clearance from the PSU or any other part that is positioned beneath the card to efficiently provide cool air to the bottom fan. And some serious RAM heat-sinks if you OC your RAM.

Imagine a shroud over that on the front side to hide all the fins, and it suddenly looks like any other card. But it would offer quite some thermal advantages.

it draws air into the card from both sides.
