Honestly, I would prefer playing a fully path-traced game at 1080p with 2K textures at 60fps than a non-raytraced game with 4K textures at 4K.

Games like Metal Gear Solid V, Battlefield 3, Fallout 4, Mass Effect 3, The Last of Us, Alien: Isolation, Portal 2, The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Tomb Raider 2013, and the dozens of great turn-based/RTS strategy games.

One small thing in regards to HBM versus Maxwell... AMD’s initial HBM implementation had issues which limited the effective uncompressed bandwidth to about 330GBps usable, iirc. Might be closer to 300GBps.
