The absolute most important asset for any LLM worth running today is VRAM, which is why prices are high to begin with.
A faster GPU will process more tokens per second, but that won't matter when you can't even load the model correctly because of lack of VRAM.
If you think the 3080 is still going to win with 25% of the model forced into system memory, you're sadly mistaken.
It may not have as much raw power, but that extra 4GB is absolutely going to give it an edge in letting you run larger models with some competency.
It's also why there's a huge market for extremely old V100s and P100s — lack processing power, but they have tons of VRAM.
FWIW, if you are really going to split hairs on certain application support why stop with mainstream cards like the 5060 or 3080? There are plenty of better cards out there if you have an absurdly specific need.....especially if you are willing to buy used 4 year old models
