This genereation seems that is getting performance using more power and more cores. Not really an architectural change but only packing more things in the chip that require more power.

Too true. I've been looking replace my 1080. This was a beast in 2016, but the only way I can get a more performant card these days is to double the power draw. That's not really progress.

Then get a modern GPU and limit the power to what your 1080 draws. It will still be significantly faster. GPU power is out of control these days, if you knock 10% off the power budget you generally only lose a few percentage of performance.

Cutting the 5090 down from 575w to 400w is a 10% perf decrease.

That's because 1080 and whole 10xx generation was pinacle and is the best GPU nvidia ever made. Nvidia won't make the same mistake any time soon.
