While the card itself may be fine, calling it a 4080 isn't fine. The model # typically designates a chip configuration, and the memory obviously indicates the amount of VRAM. In this case the graphics chips are different between the 4080 12G and 4080 16G. By calling it a 4080 and only changing the VRAM amount, one would deduce that the only difference is the amount of VRAM. This is not the case. Take a look at the 30 vs 40 series.
The 3080 TI / 3080 12 GB are both GA102 chips. This makes sense because the only change is the RAM.
The 4008 12 GB is a AD104 chip, the 3080 16 GB is a AD103 chip.
Despite carrying the same number convention they are very different chips..
