If Nvidia really doze the RTX 3070/80 above $700/$1K, along with current/next gen games and higher end gpus, Im giving up newer games and just stick to 4K/60Hz/Freesync and call it a day and be finding other hobbies, its bad enough the trash we get with current gen games....

The power plug, if true, should be an improvement. The 12-pin connector body is the same size as a single 8-pin, yet can deliver more power than two 8-pin connectors. That's due to slightly larger gauge, while the pin pitch is reduced to 3mm.  So, you get one cable per card, the size of a single 8, that does the job of two. 
 
The downside, it will rip a hole in the fabric of space and time. 
 
Change. We fear change. 

If mining does ramp up again, and Nvidia releases to 3070 for more than $500, the 3060 for more than $300, I bleeping done with the green team.....

It will be more pricey sadly to say.

Keep in mind when it ramped up in 2017 people invested heavy into trying to build bitcoin rigs but it quickly crashed and very few people really made money off of investing in these mining rigs. While the value of the bitcoin looks good keep in mind mining a bitcoin becomes harder now then it was in 2017. I think these new cards could possibly be used for mining but do I think some home user is going to be able to max out a credit card buying video cards and make a profit off bitcoin? no.

These cards can't mine bitcoin. They can mine cryptocurrency.  But not bitcoin.

RTX performance 3-4x
 
....a July 2020 update confirming that we're still to expect a huge 3-4x performance upgrade in ray tracing performance with the Ampere GPU architecture over the current-gen Turing GPU architecture.
If this is true, the next-gen Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3000 series cards will indeed makes "Turing look like Kepler trying to run DX12".

on a side note
 
other  sources have claimed that AMD’s Navi 2x graphics cards might get delayed to early 2021, at least the board partner models. If that turns out to be true, only reference cards will be available later this year which means there will likely be a shortage of units.
 
The source claims that the first validation sample for Big Navi was just recently sent to Shanghai for driver development. It appears that AMD’s US engineers have yet to visit the China-based manufacturing test labs to assess the final GPU performance. This means all previous leaks regarding Big Navi’s performance are bogus.
