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.

because:
1) on same PP the price of the chip depends on the size the chip itself, so ampere will be bigger -> price will be higher
2) we saw that price escalation with turing (gtx1060 200$ rtx2060 350$ or 1080ti 700$ 2080ti 1000$)
3) no serious competition by AMD in enthusiast market
4) nvidia is nvidia
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

for what do i need this if there are no games supporting it? and the only games supporting it are useless and sponsored by nivida what means more money spend on nothing, what also means more cost to the product. i still think its a big scam and absolutly usless for gamers. but nvidia is well know for this, remember the 16b vs 32b scam to discredit 3dfx ? for cartoon movie makers its a differnt story. they just need a reason to sell their overpriced cards and call it enthusiast, what a joke.

Well, I'll say again.
Not long ago I saw some news saying next gen will bw at least 100$ cheaper and somewhat more in line with 1000 series.
All higher end will see a price cut, except xx60 series.
That said I doubt 3080ti will be more then 1000$.

I've read elsewhere that DLSS 2.0 will now finally use the tensor cores and not the regular shaders dragging FPS down. That alone should improve performance a lot on both the old RTX 2xxx and the new 3xxx. For me the 3xxx might be the first upgrade I'm interested again. When the GTX 1xxx series was released, tri-SLI on my GTX 980ti was still alive and well. Two 1080ti wouldn't have been much better. When tri-SLI scaling was eliminated in the driver and when one of my 980 died, the 1xxx series was already end of life, and the 2xxx way overpriced.

nVidia will use some of their high margins to compensate for the increased product cost in order to be competitive to AMD.
