Has anyone benchmarked int8 models before and after the RTX 20-40 series unlock?

A Redditor asks whether anyone has benchmarked int8 model performance before and after the RTX 20-40 series unlock. While the common take is that pure int8 won't benefit, the poster notes int8 models retain some 16-bit components, so a measurable difference is plausible — but only int8-vs-bf16/fp16 comparisons exist so far.
