By 2010 we had people talking about the end of Moore’s law and indeed we only got ~100 times more transistors in top of the line graphic processors compared to 2007, should have been 512 times according to Moore’s law.
Price went up 10x or 6x when you account for CPI inflation when you compare the 8800GT to the RTX5090.
Fat chunk of that performance improvement went towards increasing display resolution. Personally I’m good with Full HD gaming on desktop but I really wouldn’t want to go back to SD or VGA resolutions.
