Its possible at the moment to profitably GPU mine altcoins at pools that payout in BTC, but not very. A midrange GPU like a 1060 or 480 might net you $2/day after electricity costs, and that is strongly dependent on the recent rise in BTC price.

Its nothing like years back when a $150 GPU could net you $5-10/day in BTC, directly. Of course that period didn't last long -- I dont think even this mildly-profitable altcoin-mining period will last too long either.
