A lot of these are probably old mining cards.

    GPUs havent been mining bitcoin for a long time now. Probably almost 10 years.

    The last big coin mined by GPU was ethereum but that stopped last year

        The coin literally went from proof of work to proof of stake or some shit like that. All mining of ETH will no longer generate any value.

        You got the sources you asked for, but your sentiment wasn’t wholly off.

        There are still other crypto being mined on video cards.

        So if you dont think that’s worthwhile for all crypto there’s still a lot of waste

        If you specifically don’t like bitcoin, you’d need to see what the other projects using video cards do to make an informed decision
