It will gradually die for scrypt coins.  GPUs will still be used for other algorithms, expect a bunch to come out once scrypt difficulties skyrocket.  Existing non-scrypt GPU coins are MMS, PTS.

Add all scrypt-jane-coins, Microcoin and Vertcoin.

Yes, just like Bitcoin. But you can always change to other coins which everyone would do too so expect profit to be close to nothing...
