Game studios will also start to optimize their graphics more and not rely on Nvidia and AMD to save their asses for having a poorly optimized game. This will lower demand for the high end cards, because they aren't needed to get stunning graphics.
Nvidia probably realizes this and don't want to start back at square one with their marketing program, to convince gamers they need $1000+ cards, and to convince game studios that there will be enough cards out there to be lazy with their optimizations.
And once game studios learn to optimize their graphics, they'll realize that there is a much broader market out there they can service, and this will lower demand for those super high end cards, and maybe even for the $300+ cards too.
When the cryptocurrency bubble pops, they want the demand for the high and higher end cards to still be there, and it might not be if the bubble lasts too long because gamers have learned to settle, and game companies have learned to optimize better.
