There was no 8GB 3080 desktop card. There were 3080 8GB laptop GPUs but those barely count, that's apples to oranges.

Memory bandwidth + cost. GDDRX6 is pretty expensive, and if you want more bandwidth you need more chips. With the 3080 variants:
3080 10 GB -> 320 bit bus, 760 GB/s
3080 12 GB -> 384 bit bus, 912 GB/s

Huh, never actually realized the 3080 12GB had more memory bandwidth, because I just never really thought about it.

Damn, the 3080 TI FE is only 899 and is in-stock.
Crazy.
Crazy.

It goes even beyond that, as the GPU chip is a totally different SKU.
10 GB: 8704 cores, 1440 MHz base clock
12 GB: 8960 cores, 1260 MHz base clock
But since both versions can boost up to the same speed (1710 MHz), the performance of the 12 GB version is of course better than the 10 GB version.
However, if you can get your hands on an 3080 Ti at a similar price you should buy that, as the memory configuration of the 3080 Ti is the same as the 3080 12 GB version, but with 10240 cores. Which, of course, gives even better performance. Well, if you are still going to buy a new card at the moment.
From a technical standpoint, the 3080 12 GB makes no sense, as it has the same layout and production costs as the 3080 Ti, except maybe the die yields. Which should be under control by now. It's just there to create an artificial performance step between the $699 MSRP 10 GB, and the 3080 Ti with $1199 MSRP.
tl;dr: The 3080 Ti is not worth more than $799.

first unconfirmed leak of a 4090 benchmark
it shows a timespy extreme score of 20,192 for a 4090 at 450W TDP, by comparison a 3080 FE is ~9k, a 3090 FE is ~12k, and a 3090 ti is ~14k. It would only improve and get cooler with software tweaks and improved cooling, so seems impressive

NVIDIA Reportedly Stockpiling RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 Graphics Cards in Warehouses Since August | Hardware Times
NVIDIA has reportedly been stockpiling loads of its next-gen GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs across warehouses in China and elsewhere. Sources close to Tweaktown have informed the outlet that the chipmaker has been holding inventory of the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 since August. Chinese GPU suppliers...

nvidia's official release with all info will be in 3 days, 9/20 at 11am EDT
if they have been stockpiling inventory it might be not too hard to buy a 4080, since all the "spare no expense" gamers will buy up all the 4090s in the initial wave

I think that will depend on where they set the MSRP. I could easily see a $100-200 increase over last gen.

Has there ever been a leap this huge?

100% increase gen over gen use to be common
7800 GTX -> 8800 GTX was about a 100% increase

It will be interesting to see how the prices change after amd launches the 7000 series. AMDs bill of material is expected to be much lower and the performance difference may not be that much. AMD could try to take market share and it could be a major hit to Nvidia's bottom line, or they could just price them a bit lower and reap in the profits.
I'm not upgrading til I see how this plays out.

quite a sticker shock although i guess not really, 3090 ti launched at $1999 so $1600 is actually technically cheaper especially if its way faster.
They are just missing that $400-500 tier that people are used to as a normie gamer, they are just squeezing people for money kinda sad. I'm sure in 8-10 months they'll put out the 4060s and 4070s that will probably be faster than 3090s but sucks for people now that you have to choose between something like a 30x0 at $600-800 or a 4080 at $1200
one huge problem i have to think for nvidia is the real dearth of amazing games that you want to push visuals on. Elden Ring... Callisto Protocol maybe, not really a ton of else for a while?
DLSS 3.0 is exclusive to RTX 40xx
