Long story short I sent in 2080ti for RMA and they're sending me a 3070.  I'm concerned that I'm getting a downgrade.
 
Card I originally bought.
Part Number: 11G-P4-2487-KR
Part Desc: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 11G-P4
 
Card being sent to me now.
Part Number: 08G-P5-3767-KR
Part Desc: EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P5-37
 
I see a lot of discussions about how the 3070 is better than the 2080ti, I'm not sure I agree, here are some benchmarks I've looked at.
 
(link removed) - the only thing it won here was price vs performance, which is meaningless when my money is already spent.
 
 (link removed)- Looks like it did worse here in just about every benchmark.
 
(link removed) - It looks like it did better here, but when you scroll down to the specs, you see some concerning differences such as lower memory bus, bandwidth, and the big one, 11 gigs VRAM down to 8.
 
I've spent some time reading online and some people make the argument that despite having a lower count in some areas, they're second generation components and perform better, so therefor lower is still better, but if that's really true, why does the 2080Ti outshine the 3070 on some benchmarks?  Trying to compare 2 graphics cards, especially ones with different architecture is a bit of a headache.
 
I'm not a rich man, so I was deeply concerned as soon as I saw that the replacement coming is not the same as the one I bought.  Especially considering I'm going to have to pay for shipping back to EVGA, which is expensive, as well as insurance for the 1500 dollar package, which is even more expensive.  I can't help but feel like I'm being cheated while simply trying to get a replacement for my defective card.
 
So, what does the community think?  Are my concerns justified or is there something I'm missing that should definitively reassure me that the 3070 ftw3 is not in any way a downgrade from the 2080ti ftw3?  Would be nice to hear something from EVGA too.
 
Thanks for reading my post.
 
EDIT - Given the chance, I wish there was an option to pay an additional fee but receive a 3080 instead.  While it would have been more money out of my pocket, at least I could rest assured that it's definitely no downgrade.
 
Edit #2 -   Looks like they pulled the links out of my post, so you'll have to do  your own searching to find benchmarks.

It's equivalent perf in my opinion, ~5 FPS difference in a 9-game average THG ran.

Isn't the MSRP of the 11G-P4-2487-KR more than double the MSRP of 08G-P5-3767-KR?

I would be upset just because of that.. 

That's how GPU generations always work, equivalent performance but at a lower price.

As long as the performance is equivalent and the feature set was identical or improved, then no I wouldn't. Your consumer appliance category doesn't readily work because appliances aren't graded on performance, people don't benchmark their fridges or stoves or toasters. Unless it's a durable good then the warranty is typically just a year for a consumer product. 
 
The problem with your argument is that if I bought a 3090 for $1500 and upgraded to a 10 year warranty... and 5 years later it dies, then EVGA would have to send me another $1500 card.... and if it died again after 5 years, I'd have to be sent a third $1,500 card. That's unrealistic and also not remotely sustainable as a company. A decade from now a 3090 will be budget performance. It only took four years for a GTX 480 flagship to be equaled by a 750 Ti at less than half the power consumption.
