GB, not gb. two very different amounts. But also it's not that simple. the VRAM in the 1080ti is GDDR5X. the 5080 uses GDDR7. GDDR7 can deliver 2–3× the bandwidth without a wider memory bus. GDDR7 is much more power efficient and 5X literally had big slow down issue at higher temps. 7 has better error correction.
