Would need to ohm out the traces to be sure, but could these actually be a pair of EPS connectors? My understanding is that those are more commonly used in professional environments.

That would make more sense since each of those would be rated for 336W.
 
stick with tried and true methods .. saves on possible RMA's ..

Ill be thinking hard on my next GPU purchase if AMD stick with old reliable or this new 12V-2x6 plug
 
I'm sure they will have the connector issue all sorted out by the time I'm able to afford an upgrade on my rtx3080 lol

Well fortunately the 3080 is not in need of an upgrade, right? I mean, it's a pretty good card that the 40xx series has little to offer as an improvement. In terms of performance yes, maybe, but value for money not so much.
So, yeah you're right. 🤓
