Nvidias new Ampere architecture: Which GPU to go for?

You haven’t been able to buy new 2080Tis all summer, unless from someone with a bunch in a warehouse. Unfortunately the 3070 looks like it could outperform a 2080Ti for $500, but only has 8GB of VRAM. The 3080 has 10GB. Maybe there will eventually be a 3080Ti in the ~16GB range. The 3090 is a monster, it physically won’t even fit in many of the existing server chassis.

How much of an impact would there be processing data on a 8GB or 10GB card these days?
