That is nonsense. You know fine well I have spend 2 years complaining about Nvidia being d***s. Only the last 12 months I have been complaining (rightly) about prices.

Nvidia Ampere might launch as GeForce GTX 2070 and 2080 on April 12th

GTX 1080 is 35% faster stock vs stock. (Source TechPowerUP)
GTX 1080 is 20% faster overclocked vs overclocked. (Source OverclockersClub)
edit: i expect 2080 gtx to be faster then 1080 ti at least 20 to 30% if not it is not worth buying
At launch, reviews put the GTX1070 a bit faster than the reference 980ti and a bit slower than an AIB 980ti, the GTX1080 was about 20% ahead of the AIB 980ti.
For reference I owned an AIB 980ti and a GTX1080 at the same time, there wasn't any user perceivable performance difference between the two so 20% isn't as big as it sounds.

To me a £700+ GPU (regardless of who makes it) needs to demonstrate a monumental jump in performance, with the GPU I have, to justify its price i.e. twice the performance at the very least.
What we see later this year will be quite telling of Nvidia imho will they push the performance envelope or do as little as they think the market will tolerate? If they do the former then yes the have a right to demand a high price, if its the later then sorry not playing that game I'll stick to 1440p gaming and the 2nd hand market.

1070+Ti will still be good for mining due to the lower latencies of the GDDR5 ram, so will still be a little inflated for a while yet.
Havent played The Division but just looking at the FPS counter on BF1 it goes from 75 - 90 FPS (depending on where you are in-game) with AVG in mid 80's and that was on some of the new maps from Apocalypse last night. Runs well without G-Sync on my monitor, but I do admit it runs smoother with my Fury Pro and Freesync (Not necessarily a higher FPS though...I cant remember what it was doing...around about 80FPS AVG I think). I personally prefer smoother gameplay than a few more numbers in the corner but the 1070 is a lot cooler to run and has 8GB Ram. Better to keep the 1070 and get a decent VRR 144Hz+monitor than shell out these insane prices for GFX cards at the moment.

Just posting this here, So we're to see a new GTX card in the upcoming weeks.

I have no graphics card and looking for a 970 is a nightmare alone!

If true then Ampere is Pascal successor, not Turing. Ampere GTX 2070 & 2080 to be launch at GTC 2018 for gamers while Turing I now believed it will be announce as Volta successor at GTC 2018 for AI and Compute.
Make sense.

Make sense.
From reading that it is perhaps the case that both Ampere and Turing are successors to Volta, but nVidia have finally completely separated compute from gaming & graphics.
Volta was actually talked about early 2016 as it is the architecture for the latest DrivePX tegra Soc for self-driving cars. And the big Gv100 will be almost a year old by the time Ampere is released. Given nvidia historic timelines then Volta would already be long in the tooth to release as a new product and it is clear significant improvements will have been done since Volta's release.
Of course, being a new architecture is a sliding scale. You rarely get completely new ground-up designs, but heavy optimizations of the previous generation. Also the biggest drivers for Volta was HPC and machine learning, hitting the deadlines for the Oak Ridge supercomputer contract was important, as was extending nvidia's lead in deep learning training. Therefore it is possible some fo the aspect more specific to graphics were not heavily optimized so although Ampere is 1 generation ahead fo Volta, when it comes to gaming it might be more like 1 generation ahead of Pascal except in some specific scenarios where there could be some larger leads in compute heavy games.
Man that's mining for you, mid range card for £600, that's mental. You used to get the top end for that cash.

*80 card at release is the top end.
At release it may be but it isn't top end for that chipset even though Nvidia would have you believe it is top end. The *80 denoting used to be the flagship cards - GTX480 and GTX580...but the 680,780 and 980 were not flagship cards. Even though Nvidia retained the *80 name.
GTX480 - GF100 - Flagship GPU
GTX580 - GF110 - Flagship GPU
GTX680 - GK104 chips - not the flagship but Nvidia using the *80 to denote flagship high end when it wasn't. Chip ends in a **4 so you know it's not the full fat chip. The GK110 was the full fat chip
GTX780 - Cut down GK110 - Again not the full fat chip but again Nvidia gave it the *80 to denote flagship high end.
GTX980 - GM204 - Not the full fat chip but marketed as flagship with the *80 to denote flagship high end again. GM200 was full fat chip
I just think Nvidia were naughty in their naming of the GPUs, to bump up the price for what is essentially NOT the flagship GPU anymore, even though previously it WAS the flagship that has the *80 name.
