Why would anybody pay $900 for a GPU?

If you were blind, but lived in a future world where you could buy a new pair of eyes, wouldn't you want the best eyes you could afford? A substantial number of my waking hours are spent staring at my 2560x1600 monitor, and a lot of that time is spent in 3D games. I'd like to have fluid framerates and immersive visuals. I'm unable to upgrade my CPU past the Athlon64 FX-57 that I bought with the computer because my CPU/motherboard uses an older socket type than today's CPUs, but I can replace my pair of GeForce 7800GTX 512s with something that will give me noticeably better performance (and is DirectX 10 compliant). And with my current setup some games just lag. I'd gladly spend $900 on a graphics card if it's the right card. I mean, it's my graphics card afterall. I wouldn't buy a cheap pair of eyes if I was blind. I want to be able to clearly see and interact with the world around me, real or virtual.
