It was only the wind.
gpu without free electricity, are only good with instamined coin, but this is not possible anymore, there is all those kinda of anti-instamine stuff

With free power, you stand a good chance of 100% ROI. With cheap power, you still may make it.

As far as BTC mining is concerned , ASICS are the only choice left , period...

Basically its only profitable if you have free electricity and the cards are already paid for

GPU'S are out of the race for mining BTC, you need asics for that.

so how do I best utilize my gpu miners these days? I powered my rigs down a few months ago while I took a spiritual retreat. nobody has come up with a different algo for GPUs that has gained any traction?

What are you talking about? There are so many different algo that came out just recently, Lyra2 and Neoscrypt are the 2 newest.

Anyway, you can try mine x11 and x13 algo on nicehash.com or wafflepool. It seems to be the most profitable right now.

NiceHash.com
If you have AMD GPU you can try NiceHash multi-algo mining ... it will switch between most profitable algorithms and give you best payouts: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=multialgo

I have tried all, and the most profitable mining for GPU is contellect right now. They have a weird payout scheme , but they pay way more than any other pools.

For instance you can get 1.2 to 1.5 EURO/day with 1 good card, but will get the same with 3-4-5 cards  Tongue, they pay like a maximum of 1.5 EURO to any mining power under 10MHs but over 0.5 MHs  (scrypt mining). To withdraw, you can do it via dogecoin , paypay and cryptopay (i think), I have made all my withdraws using Doge, the thing is if you let your earning accumulate, they ask "verify you", and this is done by credit card ( for security reasons not recommended) and by buying one of their mining contracts, I bought (using Bitcoin) the 15 EUR contract and got 17. something EUR back. Been mining there for over a month, great profit. I don't know if it is scam /ponzi /whatever or not , but I have made a profit.

If you need help PM me

Some altcoins using different algos can be mined reasonably well with GPU. Join a multipool and pick that option. Otherwise sell them or play games on them with great detail.

What about Groestl or Vertcoin? Are these actually viable to mine with GPU or even CPU as they are touted to be?

You can still mine Groestl coin or vertcoin with GPU, I dont think those algo have asics yet. If your electricity is not very high, you can still make some profit out of it.

Foldingcoin is good for GPU mining, it uses your processing power to fold proteins and help find cures for diseases. It can only mine with cpu or gpu so asics should not be a problem.

Well, I myself take my rig offline long ago and use it for gaming. Pretty nothing is profitable right now for me unless you really have dirt cheap electricity...

You can earn something usingamd gpu's and mining other algorith coins like x11, x13, keccak and so on. Then convert it to BTc and you can earn.

For most the GPU days are dead.   Just eat up to much electricity for what they bring.  The asics have them to a few less algos. 

Most likely you are better off selling cards then mining with them at this point.   I parted mine out a while back.   Do that and buy new miner or straight BTC.
