Is it logical to use GPU cards for mining? ASIC machines are special devices manufactured only for mining. These devices are returning after a while as scrap. But yet high-end GPU cards can still be used, even if they lose the mining feature. The GPU cards can be used on the computer to play games. It's easier to sell GPU cards as second hand.

What are your thoughts about this?

My thoughts are GPU mining  is alive and well for Alt coins  .  This forum has a section devoted to alt coins. I also think you started the thread to get your post count up.  You are smart enough to sell your signature you are smart enough to know the answer to your own question.

It wouldn't be feasible to match the hashrate of ASIC miners with even top end GPUs today. Could probably mine ETH.

GPU cards are still very well used with other crypto mining.
Regarding bitcoin, it is not interesting anymore since long time.

So if you want mine with GPU, simply mine ALT coin.
