There's no f*cking way the 3080 costs as much as the 2080Ti because that would destroy the market.

How much would the 3070 and 3060 cost, then? Will they keep the same mindset and price the 3060 like the 2070 Super, leaving the whole mid-to-low market for AMD? Or will they be priced reasonably, but leave an enormous price gap between the 3070 and the 3080?

Nope, I refuse to believe such nonsense.

You're focusing too much on the names of the cards. Just because they're named the same gen after gen doesn't mean they need to service the same power or price bracket. If a 2080 is indeed 40% faster than a 2080ti costing as much as it seems logical because that's about a generational leap. And if a 3070 is 40% faster than a 2080 is might as well cost as much as it. Don't think of it as Nvidia shifting prices, but them shifting model numbers. As far as we know now the 3080ti might not even exist and the 3090 is a new special kind of prosumer card.

But they're replacing those cards and therefore need to remain in the same ballpark.

If you're replacing a 600€ card, the most logical thing is to do it with a new product that remain close to that price point, not with one that costs twice as much, because in that case you're not replacing one product with another, your cancelling one product line for another.
