I believe that it is the purpose of these new cards
I love news like this as it means for the folk like me (im still useing a 750i) it does the job but its getting on a bit, Im always a few years behind in terms of budget and what card I have in, thus when a new one comes out the older ones drop a bit in price.
I went from one of those to a 1050Ti last xmas, and the performance increase was noticeable (while not jaw dropping). The biggest improvement was having 4GB of VRAM instead of 2GB. Much better texture performance.
Next step for me is probably a 1060 6GB, but they are still above release prices (even with a good 100 £/euro drop just recently), so i will wait for these new cards and see if the prices on the 1060 go back to normal, or even better drop lower. The 1050 Ti is fine for now.
If the price of 1060 6 GB back to normal then the 1050 Ti will be almost free ?

Worryingly, looking at the rumoured specs for the 1180 (~13tflops/1800MHz core/16Gb ddr6/3584 cores), it doesn't look to be much better than what we have right now.
Same number of shader cores as a 1080ti with a tiny bump in memory bandwidth ~500Gb/s vs 484Gb/s. A few more GB memory (16 vs 11) and the addition of better asynchronous compute and hardware raytracing components. Probably a little more power efficient too.
Even the tflops value that's rumoured for the new card is lower than that of a 1080ti (13 vs average of 14.2 for the 1080ti). Granted, if the architectures are too different this is irrelevant anyway, and even if they're very similar it still depends on what clocks the card actually boosts to under load, I suppose it could be a 2200-2300MHz core if they've made some serious architectural optimisations.
All in all though, it doesn't look like it'll exceed the TitanV, and may only just be 1-2% ahead of the 1080ti

I've upgraded to a 1060 6gb from a 960 4gb (which is similar to a 1050ti), and the upgrade is tasty. Most of the extra performance was 'invested' in having 1.5x supersampling, but even having that on board the FPS got a nice boost planetside.
I have a Titan xp now (nice but too expensive, would buy xx80Tti in the future instead)
Next card I buy will have to do 4k VR on high settings at 90 fps. Until then I will wait. It may not be this next generation yet, more likely a few iterations away.
