GPUs are used mostly for ethereum, ZEC, Monero etc now. I get the impression that the massive crypto-currency datacentres in China are mostly BTC and LTC ASIC operations.

It could be good for gamers if BTC crashes and ETH and the others crash alongside it, making mining unprofitable.

FYI in the last couple of months price pressure seems to have switched to the nVidia GTX 1070 cards as the Radeons have been overinflated or just unavailable, and the 1070 has a good price/performance ratio for mining too...
