Nvidia basically screwed over everyone else with the physical design of the cards. No more blower means hot cases and hot parallel cards. This design won’t be great for hashcat.Well, if you take the gamers out, who's left? The professionals buy the professional cards which still have radial design. Maybe the miners, but NVidia made only 18 Mio. in the 2nd quarter of 2018 with mining hardware. That's no market to count on.
And all major brands had their own radial desings in the past, they also will in the future, so it's not completely catastrophic. But sure, not very ideal since the original design was pretty much bullet proof.
