Ok I won't lie and pretend I know everything because I don't know too much about the smaller details involved in mining but, I was wondering, is GPU mining truelly dead ? I saw a post the other day about a guy mining eth last month. Unfortunately you would make 3x less with todays difficulty compared to them.
I mean even if there are new coins worth mining because they might go up in value would anyone point me in the right direction ?

Not really. You're looking in the past when you should be looking in the future. DO you think that people were saying ETH was another scam coin / shitcoin at the start? You bet there were, and I'd wager some of them were mining eth themselves. Just pick an alt coin thats fairly new to mine, look at revolver or vcash for starters. also check out whattomine.com

Mining ETH ,DCR with GPU is still profitable now.

no absolutely, and no, by a long shot, there are many profitable coin lately, not only ethereum, and this counting expensive electricity, let alone cheap electricity like 0.05 or around that
also bitcoin is still increasing, this will put a good edge on the profit, imagines now if bitcoin skyrocket to 800+, everything would be instantly more profitable than what it was 3 months ago with etheruem only

I think the GPU mining will last at least a year as long as Ethereum mining is still profitable. After that, we will find another one.

GPU mining will always be relevant. Maybe profitable, maybe not.
CPU mining is what is truly dead.

I agree with this. CPU mining is only good for the Monero. I used to mine Monero with GPU, but not any more.

You'd be better off just buying the cost of a computer by buying that much of the coin. (i.e. If you want to spend $800, spend that much on the coin you want to mine)

in fact some people still mining etherum, i think the GPU mining still life and more profitable than bitcoin mining.

Ethereum is the most profitable to mine at the moment. But the network hash rate is increasing too fast.

I hope by that time, there will be another PoW coin to appear for us to mine profitably, but that is not guarranteed.

I hope the PoW of Ethereum mining will last 5 more years, so that the premine will be reduced to less than 50%.
