No, because there wasn't that much innovation to begin with. Ray tracing is the last graphical innovation I can think of and tbh it isn't world changing like other stuff in the past was.

That's not how it works.
If you have a 3090 it can push more polygons and hold more than double texture data in memory that a 1080 can. No 'innovation' in rendering techniques is required. Simply having more resources means higher quality models and textures.
A 1080 still runs everything because nobody is going to make a game that requires 24gb of VRAM for its textures and models when two thirds of the market have only got 8.
I used to buy that argument but when people routinely dump €1000 on a fucking phone it's hard to take that serious anymore. Seriously, the smallest last-gen iPhone STARTS at €800.
I maybe spent that much on PC gaming hardware in the last couple of decades COMBINED.
Allegedly PC is gaining some ground in Japan because consoles are turning to shit. We'll see I guess. They can have all the nudity they want there.
Problem is.. PC gaming is expensive as fuck now.
Not true.
A 1080 still runs everything because devs know nobody can afford a meaningful upgrade.
I have a 1080. Starting to struggle for highest settings at 1080p 120hrz.
