You are in the bitcoin mining subforum, so i'm going to give you a bitcoin mining answer:
Mining with your GPU will make about $0.5 worth of BTC a year, if you have a decent GPU that runs 24/7.
An S9 will make you about $5000 worth of BTC a year...

Offcourse, after you pay for power and hardware, your profit will be very negative for the GPU, and *might* be positive with the S9 (depending on your electricity rate, your luck, the diff rise, the price fluctuations,...).

If you're asking about altcoin mining, it might be best to re-ask your question in the altcoin mining subforum.
If you want an estimation what each bitcoin ASIC will produce at current diff, block reward and BTC price, you can find the ASIC's specs here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
And you can plug those values in a mining calculator like this one: https://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator

Locking this thread since it's been asked a billion times before and just attracts offtopic discussion and sigspammers.
