Do AMD have a cheaper card that matches a 1070?

AMD is mainly focusing on targetting the mainstream market, where it's more affordable for those who don't want to spend too much on a GPU. Nvidia on the other hand released their most expensive cards first, and is now slowly filling in the lower end part.
But it still costs a lot. The performance is close enough that If it was cheaper than the 1070 it could be an option...but it isn't
Not atm, however if you plan to use Vive with full graphic settings, you need an overclocked GTX1080, not a 1070.
As for AMD on single card perf, H1 2017 the Vega GPUs are coming out.
Otherwise use RX480s. You can buy 2 for the money of a good 1070, and do your job

I hope it's early in the first half. If it comes when Nvidia are releasing their next range I'll just curl into a ball next to my freshly torn up Lisa.T.Su poster and spend the night weeping into my Haagen Dazs!

All AMD need is a single card that can handle 4k (just like the Titan XP), but it might be asking too much of them...
If by next NVidia range, you mean Volta core, that is for H1 2018.
Nv will publish a cut down TXP or unlocked 1080 as 1080ti in January, sitting between 1080 and TXP in perf and price.
AMD has a brand new Core with HBM2 for the top Vega model.
Rumours suggest the same as last Ti launch where 1080Ti will be almost as fast as the TX but at a lot lower cost, making current TX owners wonder why they paid over the odds yet again for the same old con trick.
I get the feeling that with the current cost of 1080's, the 1080Ti will not be on par with the 980Ti launch pricing and will be relatively more expensive in comparison. I would hazard a guess at £899 - £999
Just my personal thoughts and speculations, of course

I'll never pay over £700 for a single gpu card...............ever.................
1080ti needs to be under £700 or the usual Ti crowd will just wait it out.
And good for you too. The only way we will see cheaper prices is if no-one buys the cards at the ludicrous prices we are seeing today.
Some people just have no will power to resist being on top of some benchmarks list. LOL

This is a stupid statement (you have made several of those lately). The OP wants to play VR and currently NVidia own in VR, AMD have nothing that is really good enough unless you want to turn down settings by a chunk, which in turn spoils the VR experience.
This thread was nothing to do with being top of benchmarks and all to do with VR gaming and what is the OP's best option. And if people can afford to buy decent VR cards, why shouldn't they?

On the previous generations, the Titan was a full blown chip, and the the next bellow, was a cut down Titan.
This time the Titan is the cut down chip, from the Quadro, and there isn't a new chip it seems until Volta in 2018.
Also nothing is concrete about the 1080Ti. Just the usual websites making wild guesses and predictions that will come.
I won't be surprised if the "1080Ti" going to be a 1080 with voltage set to 1.8-2.0v, clocking close to 2600-2700. Or dual GPU card named 1090 or 1180.
And that could explain the voltage hard cap on the 1080, and the completely black out of AIBs to sell the TXP.

Waste of their time moving into the VR market then, if they're also getting smashed in that
I don't really see that - lot of voltage for 16nm and without refinements even the current ~2GHz is optimistic - nVidia got a bit lucky there as ostensibly on a GPU size core anything over 1.8-1.9GHz is a big ask.
