This should go to the Altcoin section, GPUs have been worthless for Bitcoin mining for YEARS.

You should be mining ETH or other altcoins using the RX 580s instead of bitcoin.

I think OP is referring to the profitability going down massively in the GPU mining area. A RX 480 8GB version can make you about 0.00027 btc per day and 2 of them 0.00054 btc per day. For me this amount is a normal one to be made but OP and many people are comparing this with early months of this year in which GPU mining had a boom and spike in profitability. This is the normal amount a GPU can make.

At OP, if you think they are useless you can sell them on ebay, there are people there still willing to pay a premium over its original price no matter if they are used or not.
