That sucks! I did something similar going from 780 Ti to 1650S. Literally no difference, but at least I paid $350 less than you. But to be fair both the 780 Ti and 980 Ti were absolute monsters.

I really feel like GPU innovations and improvements have slowed to a crawl if 7 years can go by and the midrange cards can barely beat out ancient high-end ones.

Like, if you compare something like the GTX 285 (high-end at its time, early 2009) to a mid-ranger released years later, something like a GTX 960 4GB, it's comical. The 960 is over 3 times faster, and today in that same amount of time the 3060 was able to deliver a measly ~13%.
