Anyone tried the Gigabyte P106-100?

[christiano88]

Can anyone come with a feedback regarding this card? Build quality, temperatures and especially hashing speeds obtained? I see it has 2 revisions, 1.0 and 1.1, anyone know the difference?

it seems that only insider can get this, i was not able to purchase one no normal stock have this, but from review it look shitty, just goon youtube there are soem video, the performance is the same as a normal gamers gpu but without the resell option

[toptek]

They cost to much to be worth buying IMO .. so i won't buy one but AMD will be restocking soon i see maybe the end of this month sense Ryzen 3 releases on the 31 st every were .

Funny thing will be once AMD and NVIDIA blocks mining on gaming cards, and that will be because you miners won't buy the mining cards, I already see it coming hehe

All I see is your 252 posts hoping to buy RX card for less than $100...cool down, it won't happen anytime soon, hehe

I don't care about pricing or comparison to gaming cards, just pure performance review. I have a way to get them cheap, that's why I am asking.
So did anyone play with them?

They are essentially the same as a regular 1060 so you can expect about the same performance. Same for goes the RX470 mining cards. Don't expect that just because they have the "mining" tag on them, they will destroy regular GPUs. From what I've read/seen, they are not really faster, they don't really consume less power, have short time warranties and they have about 0 resell value. I doubt many people will buy them unless they cost 40% less than regular gaming GPUs.

There were also rumors about P104-100, based off 1080 cards.

Also these cards (the nvidia mining ones) are not sold on the regular consumer shops. AFAIK, you can only get them in bulks. I believe most people here are private miners that run "small" farms except for a few, so I doubt many have or will have the occasion to play around with them.

I don't have 252 posts dumbass, 252 is based on my activity around here. I have 316 posts with this one and by the way I don't want to buy any card cause i already have a GTX 750 TI and that is already good enough for the games I play, also I'm not a miner cause I'm not a loser. I buy and sell coins and my returns are thousands times greater than you stupid miners.

I don't expect them to be faster, I know the specs, I just don't want them to be slower than their gaming counterpart, that's it. Is there any probability that they have different memory modules (not samsung)?

Dude, if your plan is to insult people, please gtfo of my thread.
And for the record, you exist because we exist (the miners).

Back to the main topic, anyone got their hands on gigabyte p106?

[nocturrne]

I am running the Gigabyte and Asus P106-100s in my rigs now.  They are essentially GTX 1060s with better cooling.  The overclocked stable ETH hashrate is 24-26MH/s.  Asus stopped providing a warranty so me and most other dealers have stopped buying them.  I am an American electronics dealer, living in China.  You can buy the Gigabyte P106s from me on ebay if you like.  If you want commercial quantities larger than 10pcs, contact me here.

Got 8cards p106-100. 2are hotter then others.  1stoped working error code 43, after 3hours mining.  Pc also random turn off electricity. I tryed everything but it seems card is dead or bugged,  vent keep spining but system dont see card(by system i mean miner or msi afterburner).

[nocturrne]

It is probably just a power issue. I've been using the P106s for a while and none have died yet.  You may have 1 too many cards/risers connected to a SATA or molex cable. You generally want only 1 card per cable, unless you are using very low power GPUs, running at less than 100W each.  Try removing all cards and start over with just 1, set the power limit to 80W, no overclocking.  Then, add 1 card at a time until you find the problem.  Getting 8 cards to work at the same time in Windows is really hard.
