Very first tests P104-100: 39 Mh/s Ethash; 470 sol/s ZEC - Nice GPU!

[shibob]

Hi there,

I was so excited with the result of Zotac P104-100 in ETH/ETC mining.
Setting rig: 7 GPUs P106-100 + 1 GPU P104-100.
Power limit: 65%
Core: +30
Mem: +600
Average Hashrate: P106-100 - 24.33 Mh/s; P104-100 - 37.71 Mh/s and ~39 Mh/s at high OC
OS: Window 10 Fall Creator.

High OC setting, very stable as few days of running: average 39 Mh/s

I have just made a quick test for Equihash algorithm, at the basic OC I didnt push it much, it could achieve 470sol/s for ZEC.
Memory is GGDR5X Micron, so basically 39 Mh/s for ETH/ETC, that's really impressive!
Please take a look on setting and P104-100 GPU info below. It's nice GPU I think.

People asked me about the cooling/power pin/back plate of my testing GPU, so I would like to give some pics for your interests:

It's been a while since I created this topic. And today I would like to show you guys some pic of MSI P104-100 which was presented in Computex 2018 Taipei.
There're more asics miners are coming but hopefully GPU mining community will be stronger.






Edit: updated to June.15/2018 - added some MSI P104-100 from Computex 2018 Taipei.

nice, where did ya buy that zotac gpu from?

We're having businesses with a big local distributor. He gets just few P104-100 for the first batch.
And before making the deal for P104-100, he gave us 1 GPU for testing. Havent had the info about price yet, but we expect it should be less than 440$.

Seems nice. But low resale value, and limited warranty are a big issue. 

[CryptoWatcher420]

would be great to have a rig of 6x of them doin eth 37 mh per is danm good

Yes, you may be right. But actually we dont care much about that guarantee and resale to gamer.
We purchased a lot of P106-100 before. Just making some test and we're considering the next step with P104-100 if its price is reasonable.
We mined with P106-100 already more than 4 months, so far so good.

It is totally a waste of a GPU to mine ETH when there are more profitable coins with double the profit.

In somehow you are right. This is just the test as I promised in other thread for P104-100.
I'm not sure is it better to mine other altcoins than ETH, but market is smart to regulate the ROI, so until now we just focus on ETH only.
We have few 1070 rigs to mine altcoins as well, but not that much.

So the hashrate is a little bit higher than the hashrate reported as in announcement of Inno3D:

What's the price?

I was quoted $440-460 for the price.

It is indeed a nice result from a 1080 GPU. Looking forward to te see these on the shelves.

Already got at Vietnam?

[NameTaken]

What's the Equihash performance?

Really it should be good for you guys. The local distributor here only guarantee for us in 3 months.
We havent signed the contract yet, but we dont expect that much, 3 months like P106-100 is ok.

The distributor hasnt told us the price yet, but I think it will be range as your quotation.
Actually our group are dealing with him for about 440$. He always gives us good price but this is the very first batch, so thing may be different.

Hi guys,

I'm very busy this time. So sorry for late update.

I have just made a quick test for Equihash algorithm, at the basic OC I didnt push it much, it could achieve 470sol/s for ZEC.
Memory is GGDR5X Micron, so basically for 37.7Mh/s for ETH, that's really impressive!

I don't get it, does the P104-100 use GDDR5 (and not 5X) or how else can it be faster than even the 1080 Ti?

It uses the x version. The specs were revealed 2 months ago, now it seems they have for sale in some places, this is just an optimized gtx 1080 for mining, more like memory timings and other minor things for mining.

Just checked. It's GDDR5X memory, my test is done with Micron not Samsung. But 37.7Mh/s is very impressive.
