GPU mining will never die. Profitability, on the other hand, could be wiped out for a lot of people, depending on their individual electricity/rent rates.

So yea, the title of this thread is sensationalist and it should read something along the lines of, "Profitability from GPU mining will crash/be wiped out, in 2018".

You will "always" be able to mine coins with GPU's even if it is profitable or not.
