how will mere mortals get there hands on nvidia P104-100 or P106-100?

[Etherion]

Do you guys think we will see Nvidia P104-100 and P106-100 on ebay or Amazon?

[Aquazi]

There is no such card.

If you google it you'll only find rumours and speculations, one of the first links is this very website.

Stop falling for that.

Discuss it when (and if) a real announcement happens.

Also, unless they put much much better memories on those chips they are going to perform the same.

And since Nvidia and AMD are selling well as fuck there's absolutely no reason why neither Nvidia or AMD should make such a risky move.

My Newegg rep told me I can order next week.

[thesavoyard]

Seems pretty fake, only videocardz and techpower up have anything on them. techpowerup just references videocardz. Yet a sleuth on these forums traced the rumor back to a Chinese scam. None of the info I have is rock solid, but I'm leaning towards bullshit.

[Vaccinus]

they seems true because i see them on some unknown shop, but it's strange that nvidia isn't making any real announcement, also it's yet to be seen if the value of these gpu isn't to high to make it worth the purchase, this gpu are not good for gamers, will be hard to resell, better to think before buying

I'd get the 104-100 to fill out a server rack. It would be economic on scale as long as the cards don't die.

Awesome, according to https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2981/p104-100 such a card
is en par with a 1080. Does anyone have prive quotes or TDP numbers?
Seems quite suitable for mining

well it's all depend on the value, the 1080 cost $500 maximum or even $450 depend on the model/brand, if this is equal in hashrate should cost less than that to make it worth the purchase, otherwise why bother?

Yes, but it's reasonable to hope that the P104-100 has some new features, like much lower power usage.
Or it can be produced (and sold) cheaper.
Otherwise, why would they bring a new model to the market if there is no innovation

The P104-100 per all of the data I have been able to gather

 (1) probably will have some BIOS tweeks to enhance mining performance - but DON'T expect 60 Mh/s, I'd guess 40 at BEST and more likely 30-35 on ETH
 (2) should be a BEAST on ZEC - though not quite up to the GTX 1080ti.
 (3) should have 20-30% lower power usage at the same clocks vs the GTX 1080 consumer cards, due to no video circuitry and disabling the "video-specific" parts of the GPU.
 (4) might have a MSRP of $350 - it definitely needs to be lower than the consumer cards to generate significant interest, given the short warranty and much lower resale value
 (5) no release date has even been interested.

 No FIRM information has been published to date, so far it's all rumors and leaks.


 I have a strong suspicion, given more info has surfaced about it from more sources, that the P104-100 won't show up for 2 weeks to a month after the P106-100 - and that has had dates anywhere from late-June to mid-July attached to it.


 Then there is the alleged 106-based mining machine - that appears to be using a mobile or modified-mobile version of the GTX 1060 (similar to the PandaMiner using mobile RX series cards).
 That however I've only seen ONE actual source of info on - and a lot of "quotes" of that one source.
 Not calling it vaporware - but so far it's pretty short on hard info.


 wcctech is one of the sources on the P106-100 - but they have a VERY spotty record, given their multiple articles about a "RX 490" that never happened among other "scoops" that didn't exist.
 To be fair though, they HAVE had some successfull scoops.

We have them on our local site liste for 30$ but im not big fan of these cards.

My supplier is offering me Palit GeForce GT P106-100 6144M GDDR5 192bit X (M/C:4000/1506) for price around 250e. You say it is not worth that money? Is there any benchmark of this card compered to 1060 or 1070?

 As the cards don't apparently actually exist yet, or are JUST (maybe) starting to show up, benchmarks don't exist for them yet.

 I don't know EU to USD conversion rate, dunno if that would be a reasonable price or not.

Lets say I can get them maybe for 270$, and my supplier is a big company, not some shady guy. Because I want to buy 18 1070 cards, but they are 480$. So I would like to know is the risk of not selling them for gaming worth 800+$ per rig.

I'd like to ask the same! Who is your supplier. Does he have the cards at hand or is it just one of
these notorious pre-orders?

1. Let's assume it's true, so a little gain, probably adjustment in memory timings.
2. Probably the same as optimized 1080.
3. Doesn'twork like that, the part you don't use don't use much energy to begin with, so you won't gain as much just by disabling them.
4. Agreed, although my best guess it would cost the same as lower end 1080.

It is main distributor for Gainward and Palit nVidia to my country. But I will ask him about that cards.

 TheStilt in his celebrated BIOS mods for the R9 290 achieved ballpark 15% savings on his NOT UNDERVOLTED version of the BIOS (personal testing on my own cards when I was first checking those out) - and he didn't disable ALL of the video out capabilities on the GPU, just most of them.
 I doubt a factory mod that disables ALL such circuitry would achieve less, and should achieve a bit more.

 I do concede that it's an estimate, and I wouldn't be shocked at more like 10% given upgrades in tech since then, but at least one source was QUOTING "10-30%" for that figure on the P106-100.



 Given GTX 1060 pricing is now climbing, $270 right now wouldn't be a bad price for the P106-100 - significantly less than the consumer 6GB versions in almost all cases right now - even if it IS quite a bit higher than reported "MSRP" was supposed to be per all of the rumors of pricing.

[Spavvn]

Why are we even discussing this? 3 month warranty is a joke, especially for mining purposes. If ~70% of gaming cards (my personal experience, adequate cooling and maintenance) can survive 3 years, then anything less than 2 years for "mining optimized" card seems like trickery.
