Yes and no, depending on what type of gaming you're shooting for.
NVIDIA's 10-series GPUs are a serious step up from what came before it. It's not just a case of "oh, new graphics card better than old one, more at 11." The Pascal cards are a true generational leap forward at both the top and bottom end of the range.
But while it's easy to get wide-eyed for the GTX 1080 Ti or the $3,000 Titan V, we shouldn't forget the mass market cards at the lower end of the price bracket.
The new entry-level for gaming from NVIDIA is the GTX 1050, and the slightly beefed up 1050 Ti.. Is it worth your time? That depends on what you want to do with it.
