Why not, for loyal customers who spent £1250 on a card that's obsolete overnight, well kind of
Do they?
I can't think of any companies that will do a "buy back" in the manner that you've suggested, as that would be a recipe for disaster for the companies finances and could result in them collapsing.
Why is it obsolete? Did they put a timer in them that broke them overnight?
There will be people happy with their 2080Ti performance and are in no rush to upgrade yet.

Serves you right for paying for something that everyone knew was overpriced.
You won't get much support for this, we all knew the 20 series cards were overpriced.... However I don't think anyone expected this big of a leap in performance and a huge price drop. AMD don't have anything out yet to compete so I don't see why they're gone so low.
Maybe they are worried about people switching to consoles when they are released soon.
Lets be honest, people who spend £1000+ on a graphics card will probably buy both, I know I will.
If you are an enthusiast or you have a monitor that demands more than your current card can supply, then you would have been keeping an eye on the upcoming 30 series and won't have bought a 2080ti in the last six months. Other people, well, really the 30 series won't affect them at all. They will happily keep playing games for some years. So no, really, I can't see NVIDIA doing anything. Last one I bought was a 2070S, because I knew even the 2080ti wouldn't be enough, so the 2070S was really just stop-gap until the 3080/3090 came out. I mean ANY card you buy stands a chance that it will be outdated ( to some extent ) inside two years.
It would cost me a lot more if I paid over a grand for a graphic card and then bought a console as well.Lets be honest, people who spend £1000+ on a graphics card will probably buy both, I know I will.

Why just 2080 Ti? Thing about Ti folks that is that they seem to think they're special 
Above comment is tongue in cheek btw in case someone gets triggered.
Feel bad for those buying the Ti recently but I don't think the early adopters did too badly out of it tbh.I know that's debatable but two years of unbeatable performance incl RT, with a decent distance between it and the next GPU down.
Same with the new gen. Anyone thinking about a 3090 should get one early on as will get the most value from that premium and likely to be at the top or very close for around 2 years.
