Question about ASUS Radeon ROG STRIX RX 6800 O16G GAMING

It's clear that this card has 16GB VRAM...However, it is a Non-XT. Why should you buy this card for this price when you can find an RTX 3080 in this price range? Basically a good card, but you should wait until prices normalise a bit. The MSRP should be 579USD excl. VAT. Sure the 3rd party manufacturers charge more, though this is considerably more. The ASUS Strix ROG RTX 3080 O10G is closer to the MSRP of 699 USD excl. with CHF 889.-. In short: A very good card, but not at this price. The XT models should be in this price range...
