Can R9 380 and 380x still mine in 2018? Are older cards worth it with current GPU prices?

We have had a handful of questions about older GPUs and their viability of mining in 2018 with modern algorithms. These were the go to cards in early 2016 and were a decent upgrade over their power hungry R9 280 cards. Let's take a look at what they do with time and updates to mining.

So what is the news that is affecting the market so much:

Most of the hardware shown in tonights stream can be found on ebay. Most all of it would be used as they are not in production anymore.
