Topic: ASUS Mining-P106-6G Coming Soon - page 2. (Read 21907 times)

The 470 option was not well thought out - they used SLOW MEMORY on the thing.
It better be REAL LOW COST if they want to get any market for it at all.
Not sure on the 106 option - have to see what it actually sells for and how it actually performs (30something percent better hashrate vs cards in the "same segment" is meaningless, especially if they are including the 3GB 1060 as "same segment).

ASUS has announced 2 mining cards. An AMD (RX470 4GB) and an nVidia (GTX1060 6GB)

Also BioStar has officially included the 12GPU motherboard on their website...

Difficulty to the MOON!!!! ;-)

Guys, here is the official link

This looks good..

 180 Mh/s on ETH isn't all that impressive for 8 x 1060 (22.5 Mh/s each) - but it's in line with the existing GTX 1060 consumer cards, so probably just the "mobile" version of those cards being used rather than a mining-specific card - NVidia variation on the Pandaminer.

Apparently,  as some were noting, specified mining hardware has join the race. Here is a WORKING sample of a miner (panda like) with nvidia mining cards in it along goes the spec and hash speed:
https://3dnews.ru/954059  under the topic is url to some china site...with some interesting posts to my opinion.

Interesting to see that the warranty is much longer on that Romanian site (which I know is a legit business). I wonder if the extended warranty is due to Romania being part of the EU and having a legal requirement of a longer warranty or if they will five 1-2 years warranty everywhere?

We're not in a position to order 100, so it won't help us any, but having big farms gulp these up will hopefully allow the market to not be drained completely dry of GPUs for gamers and smaller miners.

GPU mining profit ratios already down as i type this. Will GPU mining last much longer when this card is released? Lol

Damn looks like they are really real. Cant beleive I have to find it out just where I live.
Yeah nvidia didnt confirmed it but that doesnt mean they will not take the opportunity to make mining cards for such a huge demand...
Like what do they have to do? Modify the card a little bit and they get a gold mine.

They are coming, you can already preorder them on legit sites, like this one in RO:
http://www.pcgarage.ro/placi-video-mining/msi/geforce-gtx-1060-miner-edition-6gb-ddr5-192-bit-100pcs
The price is damn high though @ $340 and 100pcs minimum order.
US price will most likely be around $220.

Looks like.

And you joined this website to say this?

There's no mining card coming, and if they do, nobody'll buy them, easy as that.

it seems diffuculty will be raise so much higher when these cards sold.

These cards will be shipping any time in the next week or 2, I work for a PC components distributor and prices ive seen you quote are pretty accurate based on my cost prices from AIC's plus VAT and warranty of 90 days.

That should be released already and with a better price range, at the moment they hit the market, those won't be profitable for any coin anymore, besides, different from a PC GPU where you have other funcionalities, this will became a paper weight in a lightning speed.

scam sites full of crap, all of them

every article you can find says60mhash for 1080 version.

Wait and see..

 The 60 mh/s quotes for the P104-100 are VERY unlikely to be lived up to or prove to be close to accurate.
 The GTX 1080 that card is based on doesn't even manage 30 Mh/s (more commonly 24-26 ballpark), as the GDDR 5x memory it uses has seriously worse latency than GDDR 5 as used in the 1070 (which only manages right around 30 Mh/s in most cases, rarely as high as 32 if you get lucky in the silicon sweepstakes on you memory ability to overclock lots).
 
 Even the GTX 1080ti with a TON more cores than the 1080 only manages mid-30s ballpark.

 I flat out do NOT believe the P104-100 will be capable of even 40 Mh/s on ETH, and would be amazed if it managed 45 - even if it moved to GDDR 5 instead of 5X it's STILL not likely to manage 40.

 On the other hand, nobody sane tries to mine ETH on a GTX 1080 or GTX 1080ti - they mine ZEC and it's derivatives, skein-based coins, groetsl-based coins, libr and derivatives, and such.
 The P104-100 should be very nice for mining THOSE coins.


 The one BIG advantage of these cards will be power efficiency - no video circuitry, the video-specific parts of the GPU chip probably disabled either on the chip or in the BIOS (similar to what TheStilt did with his line of R9 290(x) modded BIOS from Litecoin mining days that reduced the power draw on those cards a LOT), I suspect that the minining-specific versions will see 20-30% less power draw at the same clocks vs the consumer versions.

 They may gain SOME hashrate via BIOS mods to improve memory latency (AKA "strapping" as used on the RX series), but I suspect those gains will be less than 20% and might not manage 10%.

 None of the rumors I've seen so far mention HIS or PowerColor, but I would not be shocked if one or both of those jump on this bandwagon.

They are listing it with this image in CZ.

What about a cooling gpu,where is it or this is like?

usually asus will build good quality and the price will be higher than other competitor, i think i will buy HIS or maybe powercolor
