The reason for graphics cards is that they perform the large number math that generates the crypto hashes better than a general purpose CPU. Most of the cryptocurrency out there still uses graphics cards to mine with.
String multiple graphics cards together and now you generate even more hashes faster.
And that is the fucked situation we're in currently.
Also worth pointing out that graphics cards are GPUs (a specialized processor) and VRAM (specialized ram). It's really the two things you want if you're doing crypto mining. Having a 50 series with 8gb of VRAM is like trying to stop a pack of wolves from eating you buy tying a ham around your neck.
