NVIDIA Ampere rumored to get four times more Ray-Tracing perf, no more GTX either
One of the problems that NVIDIA faces when RTX Turing was released, was it's rather poor RT supported performance. Albeit with some clever tricks much has improved, the perf hit is big and NVIDIA has been trying to compensate that hit with things like DLSS, (to gain performance).
According to a new rumors originating from PCGamer (who picked it up from Moores Law is Dead YT channel), with the arrival of the new generation of Ampere graphics this problem will be eliminated thanks to the fact that they will have four times more Ray-Tracing calculation computation capacity, significantly improving performance. According to that same rumor, the pending GeForce RTX 3060 series would have the same Ray-Tracing computing capacity as an RTX 2080 Ti, albeit that seems a bit far fetched.
A second rumor is that NVIDIA would be going all RTX on all their graphics cards starting with the 3000 series. Ampere will support Ray-Tracing throughout the product line from low to high range. This means that we could see an "RTX 3050" to play 1080p with Ray-Tracing activated at an affordable price, something that would further strengthen Nvidia's market share.
It will be interesting to see if these rumors are true or not, although there is still enough to know. While we learn about the first (pro-enterprise) Ampere product next week, GeForce RTX 3000 graphics should be released in a few months. Again, please always take rumors with a bit of caution and common sense.

3060 will beat 2080 super with raytracing enabled. Thats impressive but we are reaching that sad state of 500$ midrange gpus.

I dont know why people are automatically assuming there will be drastic price increases. Remember Nvidia is not selling heroin where people need to get their fix from the only dealer in existence. The new consoles, RDNA2, will also be around ready to take on disgruntled GPU users looking to get better value. Nvidia is a business where they have to contend with competition. Even without competition, I would think most gamers would just say no to silly prices and seek alternative ways to spend their time and money. Plus I think Nvidia also cares about having adequate market share that high prices dont end up squeezing them out.

Nvidia has always offered products in the $200-$300 price range, Turing is no exception (GTX 16 series). Question is only how well these will perform.
