A major bad point with this is when the mining cards become obsolete, they won't be able to be used as a graphics card in a computer due to it not being able to output to a display. So realistically it will decrease avaliable graphic card supply to gamers in the future who are maybe looking for a cheap used graphics card (therefore pushing people to buy a new card instead). Short term fix, long term problem.

I was thinking they could maybe get a second use in industry however they mostly buy new cards (from my limited knowledge on it).

Nvidia knows the strats to make $$$ in the long term under the guise of the good guy.
