I'm in full agreement. 

I'm just saying it's just more likely that the XSX equivalent desktop GPU's will be around a similar price to the equivalent GPU's in the RDNA1 lineup. Ie 6700XT launch price = 5700XT launch price. Sure it can cost £100 or £1000. But in terms of likeliness it'll be similar price points.

New Nvidia 3000 cards will probably cost more than the 2000 series though. 

We have seen jumps like the 980Ti go to 1070 with the MSRP of $379 and 980 go to 1060 which has an MSRP of $250. The rumour mills say that a 3070 should be able to perform 95% of what the 2080 Ti can perform.

As MS themselves compared in their Gears of War 5 benchmark for the series X to a 2080, if we assume that is what MS is targeting since they could have pitted the series X against the 2080 Ti as well, for all we know, you would need a 3060 to beat the Series X and something lower to beat the Ps5.

But without actual numbers and pricing, it's hard to tell...

As I said at the moment I'm talking simply about pricing in this thread.

How much will the 3070 be in relation to the 2070?  The 2070 launched at $599. the 1070 was $379 and the 970 was $329. That's not a great trend. Hopefully the 3070 is flat price with the 2070. 

I think AMD want to keep the budget crown which is why I think RDNA 2 won't be more expensive than RDNA 1 was at launch.
