Its strange that 3070ti have more memory than 3080 and 3080ti.

Probably something to do with the bus arrangement? I agree its weird and its probably a design limitation.

I'm sure they've all been claimed already by miners in backdoor deals with distributers. In other words, this release means nothing to gamers.

Marketing, pure and simple. More vram = more sales at higher prices regardless if GPU is capable of utilizing it (like the 2060 with 12gb).

Like the awful Nvidia FX series. Only the FX5900 was a good card, the rest and especially the LE versions were crap. I remember having an FX5700LE 256MB (that was a lot, but 64-bit mem bus and slow as hell!) which could barely run EverQuest 1 with any shadows enabled. Good and bad times. 😛 Good thing that card didn't cost me a kidney. Even if the FX5200LE would be released today it would go for $500+ just because....
