I've seen a lot of people saying they would not buy a 20 series due to performance and price, how they were just going to get a 10 series instead.
Or its because people will expect to see a bigger gap for the price jump .

It's simple.
They want people preordering the over priced card. This creates demand. Even if you dont like the card in the end and return it to the retailer, Nvidia have already made their money. It's on the retailer to shift the returned product, not Nvidia.
The best the Retailer / Etailer can do is return the card to their supplier. But this rarely happens.
Once the pre orders etc are done and the card is shipped / reviewed, those disappointed will either 1. return card (nvidia already made their money) 2. get a 1080ti instead (nvidia make money and shift surplus stock)
