I think most is doing a lot of work there. No one I know who games or does CAD is mining crypto because it's in no way worth it and I imagine there's nothing but anecdata for your statment either.

Orthogonal to the issue at hand, but for what little it's worth, literally nobody I know who games is mining. And this includes a lot of tech-savvy IT professionals.

(half a decade ago, one person I knew was getting excited/contemplating it; but he was looking to build a dedicated mining rig, and I don't think he ever followed up)

> most people who own a single gpu also play games and occasionally use it for mining.

Most people with 1 GPU use it to mine? I would have guessed that even with things going crazy in the cryptocurrency space pure gamers were a vastly bigger group.
