I read with great interest a discussion regarding high temperatures on a FTW 3080. There was a lot of speculation regarding the root cause. It turned out that the problem was mitigated by adding some fans to the case.
I would ask that EVGA provide some design data on the air flow rate required by the FTW3 cards to ensure adequate cooling.

I was doing a DuckDuckgo search...(i'm different..lol) and was intrigued by your thread.
I personally, am trying to determine, how to get the best cooling out of a few different cases I am using. Big folding at home Team EVGA supporter... and I was wondering if you happen to have flow charts showing video card air patterns.
No where near an expert...they all left town...lol
Kidding..
Just a couple of things I can't quite get a handle on.
On a couple of enclosed mining cases the card farthest from the cpu is always hotter than the rest.
This particular position is closest to an outside wall on the backplate side and 3 inches(possibly more) away from the back of the other gpu. Air flow in the case is straight through with 3 fans on each end..Air flowing towards the mounting brackets for the gpu's
Both walls on either side of the cases is slotted for airflow. Top solid and bottom has extra vents for another psu if needed. Guess I could add a fan on the bottom to shoot air to the hotter gpu...
Currently only using 3 cards to increase distance and help with temps.
Just was wondering if you actually had any luck with your EVGA 3080 research.
I have a few 3080 FTW3 Ultra gamers, in my machines...
