Googling I see the price of a 3080 is 700 dollars, so this would cost 700 * 90 = 63,000. Plus electricity, which, maybe you can get cheap somehow in China if you have the right friends. Seems like an amount this size is pretty small compared to what you're moving. If you think bitcoin will go up long term then the cost might work out to be negative.

assuming you're able to buy them and have the money upfront and are able to hide the purchase.
"What this person could be doing with 90 3080, I wonder" asks the Chinese government employee that checks your bank transactions.
