Because the market for such a device is very limited so the price is increased because of the low demand. It's great for rendering 3D animations and videos because it can crunch numbers. Plus the drivers are specifically written to boost performance for CAD/3D processing. The people who do buy it are not individuals but companies. So it is paid for by a company so costs aren't going to matter much to them.

They don't really have tests but they have benchmark of what you should expect if you buy the card:
