May be? In two years everything will be antiquated.

When you can find one, the 980 Ti will be worth every dollar. Or, you can wait on the next AMD card. It only makes sense that the fastest card will give you the better performance, but with AMD poised to release a new card (Fiji/Fury) you may want to wait to see how that goes.

Not necessarily. I know many people who were extending the life of their 680/780's way past 2 years. Heck, many people still use them today. Performance has not taken great leaps between generations.

With the wide memory bus things can change drastically however. Even the very first revisions offer 10 times the memory bandwith compared to traditional GDDR. That's a serious game changer.

That "10 times" bandwidth number they are tossing about is the theoretical maximum increase in bandwidth. 

A lot of the performance increase will be tied to how well the data is organized in memory.  In reality, the performance increase will be much less, but more than what is currently available.  What the "real" increase will be is a best guess, at the moment.

Still, it is a nice idea and will save a ton of real estate and power, while offering an easier method to increasing the amount of memory on the card.  Good stuff.
