Miners are moving away from GPUs. Asics currently manufactures special devices with the entire Bitcoin mining algorithm implemented directly in hardware delivering the performance of several GPUs consuming 100w. That miners are a beast for that specific application.
Of course, there isn't a dedicated hardware for each digital currency, but the bigger ones are already being dominated by these guys.
