While I expected about $1600 for 4090, for the other two, whose GPU sizes are 9.5/16 and 7.5/16 of the top model, I expected prices proportional to their sizes, i.e. about $1000 and $700.

However, NVIDIA added $200 for both smaller models making them $1200 and $900.

It is debatable whether 4090 is worth $1600, but in comparison with it the two 4080 models are grossly overpriced, taking into account their GPU sizes and their 2/3 and 1/2 memory sizes.

They will price the 4080 at $1200 to push people over the line for the 4090. After all, the performance difference for "just" $400 is quite significant.
