$599 with VAT is just under £500. It's likely the cards will be £450-500. Depends on offers etc.
I think they will aim to get them under £500 so they sound more appealing.
Marketing play on words, Hype.... if he tells you "like this", (picture of 980's in SLI)
You're meant to think oh twice as fast as a 980 in reality its literally 980 in SLI, which is still open to interpretation, some might say "Nvidia SLI has 95% scaling" that would be Jen's Fanboi army doing some free advertising for him, others will say "Nvidia has 25% scaling" that will be the AMD fanbois.
The truth is probably somewhere in the lower middle of that, 40% or 50%.
This is where some of your money goes, it pays for an army of physiologists who think up the best ways of manipulation without actually lying.

+1 however have they said the 1070 will have 8GB VRAM? If so that will be the card I'm getting. Will work wonders with my g sync monitor.
Its pointless to even think about getting one unless they are reduced by like 60% which wont happen
1070 beats it as well.

So what sort of performance are we looking at compared to my 670? Over double for the 1070?

Reading the last few pages it looks like there's a lot of skepticism here, and rightly so.
It's currently all words from Nvidia - 1080 "same performance as GTX 980SLI", the 1070 "More powerful than a Titan X".
I'd say whilst they both sound good, DP1.4 seems a tad pointless when neither card will achieve 4K/120fps in games, and the 1080 will bring about similar limitations as the 980Ti does at that level.
Best to wait for reviews before selling your current GPU. If anything this announcment has just got me even more curious how the real next generation of GPU (1080Ti/Titan) is going improve over the current top end cards. Quite a bit i'd imagine.
The only real positive thing to come out of this announcment in my eyes is the performance per watt.

If that's the case then I think I'll keep my 980 for a while longer.
Holing out another 6 months for the 1080ti will not be easy.
Easily over double - the 980ti OC models were close to double a stock 780 performance.
Tripple in some games.
So roughly as I expected then.
1080 ~30% faster than 980Ti and same price (£500+)
1070 ~ 980Ti speed and priced at current 980 prices.
These do look like excellent GPUs and the early predictions of AMD being 1-2 quarters ahead are proved pathetically wrong. Showing working silicon in Dec and no further info/leaks and eventually being bitch slapped by Nvidia is typical of AMDs utterly poor marketing.
Well done Nvidia.
Anyone looking more than £320 for a used 980Ti will be deluding themselves IMHO.

Hahaha Brillant, I noticed after my comment on here regarding low offers on MM someone put in an offer of £180 on my 980TI on the bay lol, whoever it was that made me smile

No, the 1070 will be more like £310 ish - it is just the founder edition that is a silly price)
