There was a time when RTX 2060 used to equal a GTX 1080 and 1060 equal to GTX 980, or 80 from gen N-1. Only 960 was a weakling 770 or 680

Now 60 tier is a 70 from N-2 how charming.
Yet there was never a time when people wouldn't imagine a trend based on a couple of reference points.
Sometimes we got big gains, sometimes we didn't. Early days of 3D PC gaming were very exciting. These days rasterization is pretty much a done deal. And we get to deal with the limits of the fabs. And of the silicon.
My rule for buying still stands though: if I'm not getting at least 25% more HP (usually I want more than that), I'm not buying, whether that means sitting out 2, 3 or more generations.
