go for it if you have cheap or free electricity and extra money to invest in..

there will always be something to mine.. besides you can sell the gear and get some of the money back.

it's not only eth to mine with gpu's you can mine all sorts of coins with them, have you ever tried to do that?

If your electricity price is over $0.2 per kWh, it is only profitable to mine with the AMD RX 470 or 480 now.

and 1070, since i'm mining with a similar rate, actually higher, and there is still some tiny profit $10-20 per gpu per month

The 1070 costs about $500. So that will take up to 25 months to get the original investment back. However, you can also sell the cards later.

not really, i'm already near roi, because of early lbry mining(and because the gpu that i bought were bought with the roi of the other gpu, so i only need to reach half of their price), and now with zcash profit is very high again

roi is much faster than what everyone think, if you know what you are doing

The ZCash mining is very profitable at the moment. So it is better to buy some GPU now to mine it for the short time.

20 days past, it seems the ZCash mining is the same as mining Ethereum. Hope not many people have bought GPU.

It's always worth if your electricity prices are reasonably low. What else you are going to do with that money? Keep them in in your sock and wait for inflation to hit you?

If you pay the 25% of the average electricity price, it is better to mine.

However, ROI is still a problem if the coin price is too low.

If the price of the Ethereum can be sustained in the next 6 months, it is profitable to buy the GPU.

There is now way to know now. In my personal experience you can always ROI in 7/8 months, every few month a new coin generates a new bubble, let's just know it will happen again in the future

That is true. That happened to ETH, XMR and other coins.

With some fine tuning, and since AMD cards are more efficient than before, mining with GPU can be a way to go with current altcoin price, but it still depends since no one knows what will happen next to the altcoin prices.

One more thing, if GPU mining becomes outdated, it can be sold to budget gamers as a plan B to get back money, unlike ASIC machine, if the hardware outdated it will just become trash and no market value.

The problem is that the price of the altcoin might drop so it is not so profitable.
