Yeah, a bunch of years ago $200-250 would get you a really nice card relative to what's available at that time. I lost my invoice for my video card but it's a GeForce GTX 750 Ti. I'm pretty sure it was around $150 went I got it. It's not the best thing in the world and today it's good enough to casually play some older games. It has no problem powering multiple 1440p displays which is why I continue to use it. For its time when I got it in 2015 it was maybe middle of the pack as a mid-range card. Playing those era games at 60 FPS at 1080p is fine. Nowadays, forget about getting anything near that price point even though every other piece of hardware has huge upgrades at similar price points as back then (as seen with my previous post on CPUs and SSDs). It's especially bad too because almost 10 years has passed. Expectations have rose. Nowadays you would hope to be able to have a 1440p display running at 120+ hz and be able to play games at that resolution at 120+ fps. Today you're looking at something like $300 to get a comparable card relative to what's available today vs back then. I haven't done the research on what's the best card in that range but a GTX 2060 is about $300 nowadays but it also retailed at about that price in 2019. In theory it should have dropped by now since there's been multiple new generations since then.
