That is because there were cards above the 970 in those price points. When the lets presume GTX 1080 comes out it will be the highest card in the range.

Did the GTX 680 launch at £300 despite being around 20% faster than the 580?

no it didn't, same price, 20% faster. The 970 isn't remotely comparable because at no time was it close to the fastest card available, not even the fastest card from Nvidia.

at 1080p it was slower than 4 available Nvidia cards(one a duallie) and 2 AMD cards.

When the 680 launched it was the fastest core Nvidia produced, it wasn't a salvaged part, it wasn't much faster than the previous gen, cards available at launch were between £420-480, they weren't close to £300.

I think the point here is that IF the second tier Pascal (or Polaris) will give existing 980Ti performance it will be priced cheaper though I don't believe it will be £300, more like £400-£450. £300 will get us R9 Fury or 980 level performance.

On release when I got mine for £409 it was still faster/cheaper used less power than a 7970 at the time

Well the people suggesting that NVidia wont release the second tier midrange card (1070) at or around the £300 price point, well you might be right, but history says other wise.

470 $349 £246
480 $499 £351

570 $349 £246
580 $499 £351

670 $400 £282
680 $500 £352

GTX Titan £800

980TI £500
Titan-X £900

fixed that for you ;)

Nvidia will absolutely be giving us 980Ti performance at around ~£300 soon.

So what you're saying is that those with a 980ti will currently get mid level Pascal performance at no extra cost? :D ;)

980ti owners are looking good for 12 months at least I reckon, as there won't be anything worth upgrading to until we have the big stuff.

Nvidia aint giving anyone 980ti performance for £300, not on this horrible earth we live in ever!

The equivalent 1080Ti will be around £650-£700 depending on brand imo. The Titan equivalent £899

no, but a 1070 should cost about £300 and be about as fast as a current 980Ti.

People are forgetting the shrink we will have much small die at the same performance at 14nm than 28nm and Amd need a good showing here as well, and Nvidia will follow suit up to a certain point, I do believe the big guns will be late this year or early next year.

If Amd are first it will depend on what they do and they need a very good showing because the state they are in and to push Nvidia.

The original Titan on release was £980-£1000 not £800. I remember because I bought one. That was the cheapest I could find.

You must have been late pressing the buy button.:D

I got my original ones for £839.99

I could have got them for £829.99 if I had shopped around a bit and had been prepared to settle for non Asus branded ones.

I remember the prices increasing very quickly on launch day as retailers made a killing.

What? I think you need to read what is going on and what is being discussed because what you have just written makes no sense and is out of context.

That isn't what we are talking about though. Yes the 1080Ti ( or whatever it will be called) will be a £500-£600 gpu, but we are talking about 980Ti PERFORMANCE, which will no doubt be matched (maybe even beaten) by Nvdias 970 pascal equivalent for ~£300.
