I missed a step here. How is the 3080 3 generations newer than either the 2080 or the 1080Ti?

  1080ti -> 20xx -> 20xx ti -> 30xx There were also the 16xx cards. I'm being downvoted for this. 10xx 16xx 20xx 30xx That's 3 gens difference.

    Ah. It seems unreasonable to me to consider the 2080 and 2080Ti as different generations when they were released at the same time. Also I think we should factor that the 3080 at $700 costs _half_ what I paid for a 2080Ti in December (The ASUS RoG Strix, a premium 3-fan model, was going for like $1400 before it was discontinued). By NVidia prices, the 3090 is the true price successor to the 2080Ti.

      You're right, I shouldn't likely be distinguishing the Ti series (although it is usually a 'toc' generation, like the just announced gen, as Ti variants were not announced). But that does leave the 16xx generation which was released wholly on its own, in its own year.

        16xx series is just lower end 20xx.
