In debates about games, people often cite Steam reports.

A great many gamers use older generations of graphics cards, and these are sufficient for most games. There is also a wide selection of used AMD cards on the market that aren't profitable for mining but are well-suited for gaming.

I use RTX2080Ti since it was out on the market. Even for sometimes mining too, still powerfull despite power consumption.

The RTX 2080 Ti is a good graphics card for gaming, but you are mistaken about mining. The Turing architecture is no longer supported by mining software developers because few of these cards remain in working condition, and newer architectures like Ada Lovelace outperform the older cards in many respects.

Not in all coins.
By example QUANTUS, RTX2080Ti beats  RTX5060Ti, if we ommit power consumption.
I can buy RTX2080Ti at less than half price (both cards second hand) from what I pay for RTX5060Ti.
In next photos, both card are used with 100% power limit, no overclock, no undervolt no optimised, stock settings, on left RTX5060Ti, on right RTX2080Ti:

The GeForce RTX 5060 Ti has nearly four times fewer Tensor cores, yet it outperforms an eight-year-old graphics card thanks to modern technologies.

There is also the NVIDIA CMP 50HX model, which costs 2.5 times less than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and pays for itself in about four months, though it carries a risk of failure.

Bolt Graphics Achieves Silicon Bring-up of Zeus Test Chip, Opens Taipei Office

Bolt Graphics, Inc. (Bolt), a fabless semiconductor startup building hardware and software for high-performance computing (HPC), rendering and digital twin workloads, today announced the bring-up of its Zeus test chip and the opening of its Taipei office to manage manufacturing partnerships as the company prepares for production of its first fully commercial GPU, planned for general availability in 2028. Building on the architecture of Bolt's rendering technology, the 12nm TSMC test chip accelerates electromagnetic simulation and path tracing in software and hardware, enabling full-product simulation without physical prototypes.

This chip significantly outperforms the RTX 5090, perhaps once it’s released, graphics card prices will start to drop.
