VideoCardz spotted a leak that reveals the Ethereum mining performance of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 flagship video card. If the information is accurate, the $1,499 RTX 3090 can do about 120-122 MH/s in ETH mining, making it almost 50 percent faster for this job than the $699 RTX 3080. So overall the cost-effectiveness for ETH mining doesn't seem that great.
With a hash rate at 121 MH/s, the RTX 3090 appears to be +49.4% faster than RTX 3080. While this result is indeed impressive, the exact benchmark settings were not provided (graphics card settings, maximum power limit, mining algorithms), so these values should be taken with a grain of salt.
