I think for the same price you get much more performance than ever before.
I remember low end cards in around 2000 were sold for $200-$400(inflation doubled since then, so you paid like today $800 for GeForce2 MX-400. And still most games of those times were sluggish on those cards. Today you buy high end card for $400-500 but you play all present games with full details and highest offered resolutions, with fast and smooth framerate.
I remember the overpriced Nvidia GeForce FX debuting around early 2003, you paid $600 for, and you got just slightly faster performance than mainstream cards.
So I guess for what you get today, you pay like 1/4 of original prices in the past.
