Could prices actually start being somewhat sensible again?
Maybe. What we need is more competition. AMD (and FSR) to be a genuine rival to Nvidia. The raw performance of AMD and the VRAM is better than Nvidia, but DLSS and ray tracing as an option means there is a strong Nvidia bias. Intel coming along would be helpful.
I’m convinced Nvidia (and AMD to a lesser extent) introduced the Ti or 6x50 versions of cards purely to test the market for what they would pay. The 3090Ti at £1900 is the extreme of this, but the price increase of the 3080Ti to the 3080 was also the same. People lapped them up so I think they will stick with that model. We’ll see.
