It's more that back then was a better time for price to performance value. The 3000 and 4000 series cards were basically linear upgrades in terms of price to performance.

It's an indicator that there haven't been major innovations in the GPU space, besides perhaps the addition of the AI and Raytracing stuff, if you want to count those as upgrades.

It feels like the crypto mining goldrush really changed the way GPU manufacturers view the market.

I feel like AI has changed the game. Why sell retail when people are paying you billions to run LLMs in the cloud.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
