There is a hard ceiling to the number of GPUs of a given generation that even the most enthusiastic computer game player might realistically want to have at the same time, and it can be counted with the fingers of one hand. This is not the case for cryptocurrency miners. On the other side of things, people and businesses who render 3D graphics for films may not have a hard ceiling as such, but they certainly face diminishing returns for their investment above a certain number of GPUs, and at a certain point they would incur in downright losses. This is not the case for cryptocurrency miners either.
