You do know the entire shroud and backplate has a brown tint to it?

It won't fit with any build unless you already browned out with fans.
Well, if someone passes a GPU because of its shroud/backplate colour, then it's his/her problem. I wouldn't personally mind, hell, even having a backplate would be nice as my 1080 Ti doesn't have one.

And I do agree that the shit-colored classic Noctua fans are ugly, but like I said, in 99.9% of builds, the fans would be facing down, out of sight.

I doubt that they use a different PCB between 10GB and 12GB models, as 12GB models practically just has two memory chips more.

So it's just stupid to release a premium model like this when there's a better version of the "same" model.
True they are similar but the vram isn't the only difference. It really should have been called 3080 Super 12GB.

Yeah, the 12GB one has 256 shaders and 8 TMUs more.
