What ever momentum Amd had in the second quarter was destroyed by Nvidia in the third with a 38.3 percent shipping gains sequentially, Good grief! Nvidia easily retook overall share away. Nvidia is just toying with consumers and the competition. Amd had good numbers but Nvidia's were through the roof on shipped units.
Your point only makes sense if the 3080ti is close and around the corner; what if it isn't?
What guarantee is there that Nvidia will offer a ti at launch of the 3xxx series?
What if Amd launches their bigger die Navi and Nvidia combats this with only the 2080ti in it's current form and pricing?
Nvidia's financial, margin and share numbers are fantastic for the third quarter and units shipped jumped 38.3 percent due to improved price/performance with their products, imho. There is no rush to force next generation and can wait for a seamless 3xxx series launch that can meet demand.
A Rtx 2080ti Super at 999 makes sense and not pointless because it may be an upgrade choice for the many on-the-fence 1080ti and 1080 owners; to combat Amd's bigger die: and because the 3xxx series may not be around the corner.

way to many "what if's"
and their financial being good for the third quarter is not a reason to drop prices
the current 2080 ti selling for 1100 may drop to 999 but I don't see them ever dropping a 2500 buck card to 999
first AMD has to beat the 1080 ti something they still have not done after almost 3 years
then the 2080 ti
unless AMD drops a MCM card next year with two or more gpu's acting as one like ryzen and completely blows the 2080 ti out of the water I just don't see NV dropping prices that much
hell after over a year my strix has dropped a whole 50 bucks
if they do delay the RTX 3080 ti it will be because they don't need it yet for lack of any competition right now
but good luck with your what if's and wishes
This debate is kinda getting circular and time will tell how the technology landscape plays out early 2020. Will revisit this when more data is offered instead of raw speculation.
Off topic:
My buddy Blaire from Germany discovered more flexibility with Sli, silently added to the drivers. Blaire has a 2080ti sli platform:

When I spend $2000+ on a GPU and only see a +38% increase adding a second $2000 GPU I have stop and think atleast 10 times if I am doing the right thing.
Out of the 3 tests only one saw an increase north of 50%
I still think developers are going to have to do work to enable multi-GPU rendering regardless of the method used. And this just isn't a priority for developers to do.

What the man said.
Fair points.
But what does an Ihv do when the developer doesn't spend resources to add multi-gpu support for their titles?
Give up for their customers? Give up tying to offer Sli? What this news means to me is Nvidia is still working on trying to improve Sli and trying to tackle the limitations. Granted, it's early on, a work in progress, no where official, but this is good news to me moving forward and something to keep an eye on if this matures.

Personally I think it would be great to have a "forced SLI" solution for DX-12 titles that works universally but I suspect it's easier said than done.
SLI/CFX was great when cards were 350 to 500 bucks each and you got 65%+ for adding a second card
very very few are going to spend 2400 USD on two cards plus 300+ on water blocks because two cards need water cooling .
so no developers will support it .
no normal SLI/CFX is dead .
now this is more likely to be a early MCM GPU needing a form of Multi-GPU support

Agreed.
developers would need AMD to be doing this also and they are not
and it be great if NV ever allowed mixed SLI like AMD did for a time
in using a 2080 ti and a 2070' Super for SLI
and the only thing that needs SLI at this point is 4k
and with SLI you have to plan on all the times it won't work so 2080 ti SLI is the only viable option for 4k .
and at 4k two 2070' Supers at 38% for the second card would be about the same speed as a single 2080 ti and cost more with water cooling so what's the point

I'm not a fan of mixed vendor multi-gpu solutions based on differing vendor specific features and abilities that one may not be able to use.
I'm not a fan of using different performing sku's based on the timing and latency may not offer a good experience.
Where Sli makes more sense is RayTracing, one may imagine
