It is popular to target gamers and bind malware with games and cracks, especially those that are popular atm. Even if the avg. gamer gpu does 50-150 MH/s with 10k bots it would be ~1TH/s (assuming 24/7 100% use, let's say 1/3 of that is a more realistic figure).
Bitcoin botnet operators even make AMAs now:

I operate a ~10k botnet using a ZeuS software I modified myself, including IRC, DDoS and bitcoin mining (13GH/s - 20GH/s atm).

13 GH/s to 20 GH/s on 10K nodes. or ~1.65 MH/s per node. Thanks for confirming what I wrote.

You're reading it wrong lol

10k is total # of bots.
A lot less is connected at a given moment.
