It makes sense, given current rumours.
Read more about Nvidia's RTX 3080 being 20% faster than an RTX 2080 Ti.

It'll come along with a nice 40% price increase too.

20% makes sense. Turing was mediocre. I don't think they have the wiggle room to repeat that again.
A 40% price increase over a 2080Ti? I can't imagine they'll increase the price much over a 2080 even. Turing was overpriced and I reckon Nvidia realise it. They know RDNA2 will offer reasonable competition and they'll have to reduce or at least maintain the same prices.

With RDNA coming to the high-end, Nvidia will need to offer its customer more value for money, especially with the new consoles coming to the market. If they continue to aggravate PC gamers with higher than expected prices, they will allow AMD to steal market share and push some PC gamers towards consoles for a while.
Nvidia usually reacts when there is viable competition, and RDNA 2 will be enough to force Nvidia to move in the right direction. Pricing will be key with these new releases, and Nvidia knows it.
I'm not saying that these new GPUs will not be expensive, I'm just saying that they will offer a lot of value for money compared to what we have right now.

Even if it's more value for money than what we have right now, doesn't mean it's still good value. By inflating prices every new launch once AMD finally has something to offer the price brackets are already so far away from before that it then looks to be good value but historically it's still to expensive. Their profit margins are only growing and even though they sold an immense amount less of Turing chips than Pascal chips they still made more.
So if they keep the prices the same, to me it's still to much. Nvidia have no excuse they weren't even using the latest node technology at only 12nm. Now with 7nm and way more wafers needing to go around for every market? Can't see it getting lower. Can only see it staying the same or higher, depending on AMD.
