Why wouldn’t the crypto miners just continue to buy the ‘video’ version if the GPU/$ ratio is to their advantage?
Leaving bits out should make the miner version less expensive.
If the idea was to somehow make the actual video card, for video use, less costly than the version the bitcoin guys want, I do not see how this helps.
You can't make the gamer card less expensive, that would change nothing in the market. The goal would be to get them off the full cards so the prices are unchanged for gamers - only way would be to make a cheaper card for the miners. Or perhaps more powerful cards that is worth a premium to them.
