Whats the catch?

I'd like to get into mining, but can't help feel I must be missing something...

According to "whattomine", I could be making around £100 per month with a 1080. Let's say I get hold that card for around £550 (amazon), already have the rest of hardware, and pay no electricity costs, I'd have paid it off in 5-6 months.

What's the catch? Six months down the line I'd have broken even and could either make money without having to do much, or sell the card for an easy profit.

I was under the impression the only way to get onboard at this point was with ASICs, or wait 12+ months before breaking even.
