Hope they don't cheap out. We are all expecting atleast GTX 2080. That card retails around $1000 canadian monopoly money.

Who's all? I for one certainly don't expect a $800 card in $500 console.

I expect RX 5700 XT ($400 card) or it's equivalent in APU form.

The problem is Nvidia retail GPU usually more expensive compared to AMD ones,  especially with tensore and RT cores. On top of that it's an old GPU that used 12 nm die size . Also don't forget 800 usd is a retail price not a BOM price.  

We can expect PS5 or Xbox Series achieving similar performance or better then RTX 2080 with total performance of  combination and a tandem between ryzen 2 and the GPU (actually  overclocked RX 5700 XT  already did ). Of course the GPU alone will not be able to do that, but most of the times game developer utilize in optimizing by making a tandem between CPU GPU program (they did it alot on 8th gen games using GPU as physics instead on CPU). 

 If we can make a theory an RTX 2080 are cheaper then that. I saw on Ebay that RTX are price around 700  USD to 600 USD. We can make estimation the BOM cost around 400 USD. Next gen GPU that has similar performance with RTX 2080 will be much cheaper then that cost. 

I can see PS5 using a beter variant on overclocked  RX 5700 XT or perhaps a cut version of downclocked RX 5800. The raw performance will be better then RTX 2070.  If developer can utilize the ryzen 2 capability tandem with the GPU,  games on PS5 and Xbox series X will be able to perform equally or slightly less with RTX 2080 if the RTX were  partnered with slightly less CPU capability then Ryzen 2.
