I definitely see a need for graphics cards like these with virtual reality around the corner.

I haven't bought a new graphics card in 5 years because even next gen games play well enough. But I can see VR changing that with the need to render the same scene twice (one for each eye).

I wonder how much money you'd have to drop today to have a rig that can push 4K to each eye? There isn't a headset that can support that yet but I'd imagine its atleast in the next 5-10 years.

It looks like two GeForce Titan Blacks in SLI can do one 4K screen. So if you did two monitors each with its own SLI, it would work for about $4000 in GPUs as of right now.
