Likewise, the last time I can recall a notable increase in my own enjoyment from a new GPU was my GTX 660. It ran all the games I was playing back then (TF2, Skyrim, Civ V, Bioshock Infinite...) on mid to high settings. The newer cards I've bought since then have only felt like marginal improvements. Yeah, the graphics have more detail, more effects, better lighting. So what? Do the games actually look better, aesthetically? Are the worlds more immersive? Is the gameplay any better? Nope.

1030 DDR5 is as good as the 660 but at 30W instead of 140W.

I can still play all games, the only games that struggle are the ones that hit their head in efficiency roof because of engines or pushing the boundaries too far.

Most titles are CPU bound too!
