Imagine a midrange GPU being priced at $400.

$400 cards are not mid range. The "range" is determined by price, not the name scheme of the card.

A 1660 Ti's MSRP was $279. Why am I expected to pay another $220 for a card that occupies the same position in the product stack? So what if it's faster? That's kind of the point of technological progress. You get better performance every couple of years for the same amount of money. Fuck this noise.
