I'm not the person you're asking either lol but I was curious so I poked around till I could find something. This says that the last time GPU mining for Bitcoin was 2014.

This isn't an area I know like literally fucking anything about. So this was just me googling. I don't know how reliable this source is
Excellent source, thank you.
Edit: I’m being downvoted because I asked a guy for a source, he provided one, and I thanked him?
I’m so fucking done with you dipshits.
Here, have an upvote.
You're being downvoted making everyone else google an easy fact for you and then continuing to doubt
The point of asking for a source is to see the source that person is using. I’m also not continuing to doubt. The sources provided back up what the user said and provide validity.
But whatever, “do you own research” and all that.
