There are still plenty of other cryptos that are mined on GPUs, but their market share is tiny. The interesting thing is that ETH switching to PoS, completely decimated the GPU mining market. This had the side effect of lowering cryptos power usage significantly and also countering all of the anti-ESG arguments against ETH.
