P106 models are 6GB, and use the chipset from 1060, it is better for mining. The tdp is prety ok, about 100W

Exactly how is it better for mining, when a regular 1060 3GB card can do 24 MH/s+ on ETH and 280 H/s on Equihash at 60W?

Not just that, the 1060 6GB cards that these are supposed to mimic can be had for ~285 right now and these come with a full warranty plus video outs so the resale value is much better.

Not true, the Sapphire cards are out we've got about 40 of them running at the moment in our datacenter.

And I'm sure if 1060's were available, people would buy them. The irony is that they're not, and that video is a horrible vid, it lacks any actual comparison of power differences (of which there are) and there's actually a bit of a bump in performance on these cards for the price.

The only advantage to the 1060's is the resell-ability (which there likely wont be for long).

The Sapphire cards may be out, but where can you buy them at MSRP? There is no shortage of 1060's compared to the shortage of RX 4XX/5XX

What that video shows is the mining 1060's are in fact just a repackaged basic 1060 with a 90 day warranty manufactured at a huge gain in margins in attempt to cash-in off miners dumb enough to support such a blatant money grab by OEM's.

There's no shortage because most of those are mini's or 3G versions. P106 models are 6GB... Better for mining....

Except for 99% of algorithms there is little to no difference in mining performance. Where 6GB makes the most difference is in dual mining. The Dag also won't reach 3GB until a year from now.

Look at this guy:

This crazy guy added 11 P106 cards to his rig. I also have ordered some P106 cards and wait to get them to build my rig.

Those are not Nvidia cards. They are MSI RX 580 Gaming X 8Gb.

Those that bought the Nvidia mining cards would have been better off buying a regular 1060 with a 3 year warranty. I suspect these Asus mining cards won't be any different, except you can't get a RX 470/570 and RX 570/580 in any quantity ATM.

Hey All!

I recently did a group buy on MSI Mining P106 Cards, and sold the max I could with our distributor.

I've been given another opportunity to purchase through Disti (Synnex) again, this time for ASUS Mining P106 Cards. There will be a total of 250 cards purchasable by my business, and seeing as how i got all we could spare to power at our datacenter, these are 100% up for grabs unlike my last order! More details on the card can be found from ASUS's Website:
https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/MINING-P106-6G/

They will be $300 per card. This includes ground shipping to anywhere in the US. Shipping over-sea's will come at an additional cost!

I'm required to Wire the money upon placing the order, so i figured i'd offer the community the chance to buy before you can't!

Cards come with 90 day warranty direct from the manufacturer. There's a 4 week build time + ship time to me, so earliest arrivals of the cards are looking at middle of August.

I'm accepting BTC @ Market Rates only ($300 dollars per card, and will be converted to USD as quickly as possible and withdrawn (we have a 50k per week limit with CoinBase)).

I'll be also hosting a group buy for PNY's version of the card as soon as its released (I'm being told 10-15 days from now).
