Onasi, then what is the point of having debate with you if your definitions are subjective? In addition, I was wrong about die size which makes your entire arguing kinda pointless to begin with. You also make strange arguments by calling X3D parts a "premium specialist parts" then we are comparing best CPUs for gamers. Like, are you just saying stuff just to talk?
You still don't get why your point is wrong about electronics getting cheaper. They were cheap for ages already. You could had bought everything cheaply back then too. However, my point is that cheap hardware today is still cheap for a reason. If you are buying quality electronics which everyone wants, they cost a pretty penny today just as they costed back in the day. Mentioning that you can get no brand electronics cheaper elsewhere really doesn't help your case. Lack of quality control, worse quality of headphones in your example of going from established brands. There are better parts which have good reputation, but they are considerably more expensive than the cheapest options on the market.
I do agree that higher resolution monitors were expensive, now they are cheap.
SSDs were expensive and now they are cheap.
DDR5 was expensive and now it is cheap.
There things are part of natural evolution of PCs. My point, once again is that cheap hardware always existed. Cheapest hardware now is cheap for many good reasons. It is a poor argument to make about GPUs.
In the end, if you are going to ''just ignore the inflation" then you are bound for disappointment. Games, hardware, everything is getting more expensive. Don't be that guy: "Back in my day I could buy a house for a dollar and still have change left!". Choosing to ignore rising game requirements is also a bad thing to do. You can't just blame every woe on evil corporations and lazy developers. Eventually you have to accept that due to many complex reasons, things are that they are. Economy is going to gutters. This is why we are getting poorer. New, unified game engines allows games to be produced much easier, but also eats a lot of system resources. There are reasons for everything and blaming corporations is in my opinion just missing the forest for the trees. They are that they are and will always be like that. They want to sell us our product and we buy it if it is good enough. That is it. No need to think of corporations as your friend. That Nvidia ''owes gamers something''. If corporation doesn't produce a product which you like, just don't buy it. I did that with Arc A770 Limited Edition card when Nvidia and AMD had crap cards for last generation. I wanted to upgrade this generation, but Nvidia cut PhysX 32 bit support, so I just bought refurbished RTX 3080 with 1 year warranty for very cheap. It is that simple, just buy a product which you need and if it is not available, then just don't buy it.
8Gib Nvidia card may give good results in nvidia sponsored titles like doom, which i suspect again, because the bus speed these days is increased from pcie 4.0 to pcie 5.0. When the bus speed is too slow the 8gib Graphic card memory will have problems. This is only about the memory and the bus speed. There is of course the other factor when the graphic card has too few structures or bad software it may not be even able to run the game fast enough anyway, regardless of the Graphic card memory. People should try to know this before buying such graphic cards.
To get back on a topic somewhat. This generation we have a weird issue where every budget offering was crippled. Nvidia low end relies on fairly modern motherboards. Intel relies on fairly modern CPUs. Only AMD left, I can't wait how they are going to screw this one too! They literally have no competition for legacy upgrades and they are going to screw that somehow, I can just feel it!
