I asked around and checked prices. Its roughly 450€ + shipping. My quoted price for 3 fan version was 491€ with shipping.
Apparently people buy these from alibaba directly or via ebay reseller for 600+€

Apparently they just combine VRAM from two original 3080s that ship with 10GB VRAM each.
Has anyone purchased these, or considered purchasing? Would be nice to buy one for AI usage.
Also found V100 with triple fans.

I remember watching a video from GamersNexus about a shop in China that does this.
Yeah but those are called 4090D models and out of my budget range xD
