Default What are the benefits of a faster more powerful Vid card

I'm using my first gaming vidoe card listed in my sig line. My prior video card was on a 5 year old P4 PC - and it never was intended for playing pacman - let alone 3D graphics.

My 9800GTX+ does everything I need it to do for around 109 bucks I paid for it with a free game. When people are paying 400 bucks for a video card - or for SLI - what exactly are they getting for their money?

This card moves plenty fast - in High def - and I can play it online at the same speed as other gamers. For another 300.00 - what is the visible benefit that you are experiencing - or is it simply being ready for future games that aren't out yet - pushing the cards to the max??

Thanks
