Is Asic miner more friendly right now

[S3300]

Do you think that Asic miner is a better buy at this present time? Since Ethereum is going to PoS soon and no other PoW coins is delivering the exact returns of that Ethereum I think it will be smarter to nose out for better returns this is why I am asking this question, if Asic is better then I will dish GPU for Asic

I sincerely believe so. I recently bought 4 used asics and am no longer buying GPUs.

Both GPU and ASIC miners support Bitcoin's proof-of-work SHA256 algorithm, but ASICs are more efficient.

Mining with graphics cards was a long time more profitable since many people are mining Bitcoin only and Graphics card are way harder to get. You have to consider that buying ASIC for the average user may seem hard, but for big mining companies it is way more easy than to buy graphic cards. Since Graphic Cards are now easy to get you don't get that premium anymore.

besides the fact that you can't mine BTC with GPUs, it's terribly inefficient.

Take note ASIC units are power hungry compared to mining with GPU if you are planning to mine with ASIC you need to be prepared so I suggest you read this "First time/Small miner reference for getting started."

Mining with GPU is no longer profitable and it can no longer mine BTC maybe years ago it can still mine BTC SHA256 algo but right now GPU is no longer supported. Unless you talking about mining on Nicehash and paying you in BTC you are not mining directly with BTC you are paid due to hashrate rentals on Nicehash.
