Question 1

Is this the OC variant? If not what's with the increased price.

Accepted Answer

This is the RTX 3080 TUF-RTX3080-10G-GAMING.  The OC version is the RTX 3080 TUF-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING .
The OC version costs more for some reason. I have this version the non OC version. I see no reason to OC at this time, but this card eaily over clocks with the Asus software. 
This card looks identical to the OC version, only the sticker on the card is different. The bottom line is if you can get any version of the Asus card get it! The card is beautiful with metal case and contra rotating fans. The ROG STRIX is a larger than the RTX 3080 TUF-RTX3080-10G-GAMING and theRTX 3080 TUF-RTX3080-010G-GAMING.
They are all excellent cards! Grab any of them and be happy.
