Dont really think that's going to be much of an upgrade on your 290.
For £300 it will be interesting to see amd's offerings

I think you definitely will with AMD.
If their top Polaris card doesn't comfortably beat a 290 (yes I know Polaris isn't their top tier) then there is something seriously wrong somewhere.
Your 290 has been getting better and better over time. Still a good card.

I want to upgrade but if prices are too high then I will just stick with what I have, I have a life away from my PC you know. It's all the people who spend 24/7 infront of their screens who will pay the asking price I suspect. I can play my games fine and if I didn't have a fps counter running I would say I was running 60fps+ when I'm only getting 40+ in most games.
A high end card is a high end card due to it's performance, not name, generation, price, sexy picture on card (think Zotac here 
). etc.
So both the 1070 and 1080 are currently high end cards, in a 1-2 years time they probably won't be.
My old 8800 GTX was a high end card, now it's just about comparable with the best Intel Iris Graphics and it gives a bit of extra warmth in the winter. (It's in my work PC).
So a cards low to high end status will change over time as new products supersede them.
Not saying the pricing the FE is OTT, we are basically paying an extra £40+ for them to be shipped here once you take other costs in to consideration.

Seems like 1070 will offer around 70% of the performance of the 1080, or in other words, 1080 is around 42% faster than 1070. That's higher than the difference we had with 980 and 970.
I'm not surprised. NVIDIA will probably do that to boost the sales of 1080 which gives them a much higher profit.

Fixed.
Yes the difference between the 970 and 980 was almost nothing!
It doesn't matter how fast the 1080 is, the 1070 is complete overkill for my needs. Just need a pre order link now!

If its 30% slower then that will make it slower than the 980ti. Where did you get that 30% number from? It was 19/24% yesterday.

Benchmark tool scores are Greek to me but is it safe to assume a 1070 will be plenty for 1440p @ 60Hz? I need a new monitor whilst also thinking of a new gpu.
It should probably be there or thereabouts.
A 980Ti was basically *barely* a good 1440p/60fps card, so a 1070 should be in the same ballpark. Meaning so long as you dont mind turning down settings here and there, it'll be just fine.
