More interesting than this is what's caused the performance expectation of gamers to rise faster than Moore's Law.
It took us almost 10 years to move the standard from 1024x768 to 1920x1080 (~2.5x increase in pixels/sec), yet in the past 5 years we've gone from 1920x1080@60Hz to 4k@120Hz (~8x increase).
I'm not sure if it's because graphics aren't naturally improving the same way they were in the 00s and early 2010s, or streaming culture showing things off with the highest resolutions and framerates possible, but it's absolutely a modern phenomenon and I'm not sure how long it can last.
