Actually, what matters isn't FLOPs, but rather the memory bandwidth.

GPU mining is just 10% slower than the theoretical memory-bound maximum (if compute was infinitely fast) - https://www.vijaypradeep.com/blog/2017-04-28-ethereums-memor...

A more interesting thing for mining would be to hook up a (relatively) cheap ASIC, with cheaper voltage regulation, to the same high-bandwidth GDDR6X memory.
