Monero has a pretty active development community. If GPUs ever get close, they'll change RandomX.

You can't mine Monero currently with GPUs?

I haven't mined in years and I know they changed away from the cryptonight algorithms but I used to mine on both CPU and GPU.

Oh, yes. Yes you can. Go load xmrig and enable the opencl / cuda extensions if you don't believe me. Example output:

     |   CUDA # | AFFINITY | 10s  H/s | 60s  H/s | 15m  H/s |
     |        0 |       -1 |   1710.7 |      n/a |      n/a | #0 01:00.0 NVIDIA       GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
     |        - |        - |   1705.3 |      n/a |      n/a |
Thanks. That's what I thought, good to see it's still possible.
