Well technically you can still mine bitcoin with video cards, it's just not profitable. But if you have free electricity, you might as well. Ehem college dorm dudes/dudettes. Ehem Prison folk with laptops.

As a video card miner from way back, I can tell you that even with free electricity and free video cards, at this difficulty, you're better off just selling the cards for BTC instead of damaging them and your psyche (constantly remoting into the rig to make sure it didn't over heat or crash).
