GPU minning is not dead
It's alive and kicking!
ATM you can mine alternative crypto
http://dustcoin.com/mining with decent return
After you mine them you can sell/exchange them and EASY earn 2 times more on
https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_usdYou can also sell GPU miners on ebay and easy get your investment in hardware back in a month
So after a month you can mine for example LTC and get 100% returns even if electricity in your area it's not cheap
BTW I think LTC will soon sky high like BTC
BTC started at 2009 and in 2012 you can buy it for 10$ now in 2013 for over $120
LTC started at 2011 and then you can buy them for few cents now it's at 3$ and in last few months more and more GPU miners from BTC switch to LTC so price will rise VERY SOON
With 2Ghs/s GPU miner you can mine about 2,5 BTC/month BUT over 3 LTC/day
You can build 2Ghs/s miner yourself for 2000$
You can also BUY 2000 LTC or more now and wait till 2014/15 and made easy money
This is how I do it...
