It looks like it does, but just curious if there's something I'm missing here.  Link to manual that shows cables that come with it:

I could literally just swap out/swap in a 3080 on the currently connected 6 + 2 / 6 + 2 right?   Would there be any benefit at all in buying new 8 pin PCIs?

    Yeah, just swap out the GPUs IF:
     
    But use 2x Single connection PCIe cables, not one Daisy chained cable.
     
    The AX1600I comes with 6x PCIe 6+2 single connection AND 2x PCIe 6+2 Daisy Chained cables for a total of 8 PCIe cables.
     
    So yes you have plenty of cables.
     
    6+2=8...
