Can the RTX 3080 be unlocked on Windows?

No Windows port reports the RTX 3080 yet. Use Linux. WSL2 does not help, because the unlock must run before the Windows driver starts.

Which PCI device IDs does the RTX 3080 use?

10de:2206, 10de:220a, 10de:2216. Check yours with lspci -nn | grep -i nvidia.
