I mean, the top and bottom GPUs of any generation differ by much less than 10x the performance but do differ by 5-10x the price. The 3090 is $1500 while the 3050 is $250 so 6x the price. The 3090 is only 2-3x the performance of the 3050. There's large diminishing returns as you push performance to the utter maximum.
