The trouble is that the 2000 series cards are now not just out classed, they have also stopped production of them months and months ago. IT will take a little while to get through the remaining stock, but the stock is finite.
Then there's the issue with availability of the new cards. The 3000 series looks amazing on paper, but you need to actually have a store that has them in stock to be able to get one. That's easier said than done the first few months.
Which means that they may not actually have to take much off the price of the 2000 series. As 3000 series start becoming more available, 2000 series will start to run out of stock. By then you start to get the opposite problem. 2000 series cards may start to go for lower prices, but you may need to find a store that is still stocking them.
All in all I think prices will go down for the 2080, 2080 Super and 2080 Ti, but it's not going to be a huge amount. And the 2070 and 2070 Super cards are already quite competitively priced that there's not huge savings to be had.
Aside from all this, LOVE the 3000 series cards and am going to get one as soon as there's solid benchmarks from several sources so I can determine the AIB model I want to go for. I skipped the 2000 series so I'm due a VERY nice upgrade. :D
