Because gamers often buy older video cards that are cheaper, basically there is a market for them, and it’s quite big.

On the other hand, cryptocurrency people will use their cards until they no longer work, and will use not just one, but possibly hundreds of computers all mining the cryptocurrency. So once they decide to upgrade, thousands of these CMP cards will flood the market, and who will buy them? Not cryptocurrency people, they want the best. Not gamers either, cause these cards don’t work for games.
