> pre-owned crypto-abused graphics cards flooding the market.

This is the only part I disagree with.

Most miners undervolt their cards to minimize heat and lower cooling costs... I'm cool with the rest of your post.

Mining cards are probably fine to use for years and will probably destroy the markets if crypto explodes.

Yeah but that's not great either. Such a situation risks driving the manufacturers to the brink of bankruptcy.

Nvidia is selling GPUs without output capability to miners to avoid exactly that scenario already.
