I'm not sure about that...Search "best GPU mining 2021" on Google and you'll get several hits.

None of those seem to be about Bitcoin? For example https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/best-mining-gpu-in-2021 lists a "DaggerHashimoto" hashrate which would be for Etherium.

Most people mining use something like NiceHash, which rents out your hashpower to people who use it to mine the currently most efficient asset (usually ethereum/monero/doge+ltc)
Mining bitcoin with a GPU would take around 5000 years in the best case scenario to pay off _with free electricity_
