The successor to the upcoming Maxwell called Volta and will pave the way for stacked memory chips, giving several-fold higher memory bandwidth than current technologies.

Does that means its finally the time for us to buy RAMs to upgrade our GPUs instead of a new card ?!

So basically the same as what the PS3 has been using for the last 7 years then.............

This probably means the opposite, and that not only will you not be able to upgrade the RAM on your gfx card, but neither will the manufactures, so less of the fancy high memory capacity version we see, and on the flip side maybe for mobile GPU's we'll see less of the "rubbish" memory version where you get a stunning GPU packaged (unknowingly and unadvertised) with rubbish, slow or low bandwidth memory! in addition to the other strange core variations..... I'm looking at you Lenovo !
