If a new driver came out that gave Nvidia 5090 performance to games with gtx1080 equivalent hardware would you still buy a new video card this year?

It doesn't make any sense to compare games and AI. Games have a well-defined upper bound for performance. Even Crysis has "maximum settings" that you can't go above. Supposedly, this doesn't hold true for AI, scaling it should continually improve it.

So: yes, in your analogy, MS would still buy a new video card this year if they believed in the progress being possible and reasonably likely.
