Rumor: GeForce RTX 3090 Pricing To Sit at $2000
It is a rumour of the greatest degree, but chatter on the web at this moment is that the release pending GeForce RTX 3090 would/could cost you roughly 2000 USD.
ChipHell user Alienxzy posted a screenshot taken from an insider account (alledged) with information regarding plans for next-gen RTX 3090. The partner in dispute here would be Colorful, and there is validity there as the guy posted a screenshot. Colorful would be releasing two high-end versions of the RTX 3090 graphics card, a Vulcan (air-cooled) and then a Neptune (hybrid liquid-cooled). Prices would sit at CNY 14,999 and 15,999 respectively (yes in that order), that's about $2000 for the Vulcan X OC and weirdly enough the Liquid cooled version would be a notch cheaper.
We'd advise you to be very careful with this info as this one definitely is not confirmed. The graphics card photos below are for reference only, these are the RTX 2000 series models, carrying the same name.

The automakers don't work a whole lot differently aside from a few obvious things. You can laugh because it's easy sure but I don't think I wrote a post stating
"comparing a dual-GPU G71 196mm2 card to a theoretical likely around 700mm2 dual GPU card and trying to claim if they can make a $900 dual-GPU card in the past then this should be the same price.....lol......."
I simply showed there'd be a large disparity aside from inflation over the past decade & if that is alone to account for R&D well, then that is a lot of R&D for consumer GPUs considering the massive amount of NVIDIA's portfolio that isn't dedicated to that market space, most of theirs is elsewhere and they make large profits elsewhere. It's not laughable and actually quite sensible but I'm assuming you aren't interested in considering any of these points and would rather sit in an echo chamber write "lol" and be a jackass.
Who said anything about R&D? You literally compared a tiny GPU, with very little cost, to a very large GPU, with very high cost, and stated you expect nvidia should be able to price them the same...this is regardless of any other factors such as higher cost memory, PCB designs, cooler designs, R&D, etc.

Considering the name change, I could totally see it, since if prices would be same, it would just be 3080Ti. But with 3090 they are trying to play on psychology of this being more. So people don't fell they are losing 3080Ti to price hike, but rather getting new tier. Especially if it will have huge 24GB VRAM upgrade, nVidia will definitely make sure you pay for that.
Also it feels like they are preparing for recession too, since value of dollar is dropping, they are price hiking to compensate. Because it is always easy to drop price if hike was unnecessary, it us much harder to price correct for lower value of dollar by increasing price later. So there might be some of that going on, to ensure they have headroom.
Though a lot of this will also depend on what AMD us doing. Again, here it is great to have headroom to drop price too. So they are like, if AMD is very competitive, drop price, if not, let people pay for top end, we all know there are types who will gladly pay 2000USD. And at that price, it more than makes up for it being low volume oroduct. But for us mere mortals, there will always be 3080 or lower. I am thinking to replace my 1070 with 3070 or AMD equivalent and finally go for 1440p panel I keep saying I will get, unless 4k suddenly becomes easy to run. Though when requirements with next gen bump up, 1440p would be safer option.

Ti means the "biggest" chip cut down a little, and as long as there no info stating otherwise, i assume the xx90 to be a full/dual chip, and a ti would only be xx80 and lower.
Look at the past 20y of Nv cards, top chip usually not being a ti but next higher number.
E.g. Titan being a 2090.
Would also be in line with it having more vram (to really make use of the perf/gaming at 4k and up).
I rather see a full chip as top gaming card, thus allowing for a xxti with maybe half the vram but just tiny amount of chip for much lower price.
