So the scoop is these gpus are real, the bad news is most of these are going to stay in China. With no output on the gpus you have no chance at a good resale value. The price reduction on the 1080 version might make it interesting compared to the gtx 1070 for mining.

Well yeah. The info says only for big farms.
I'm more interested in the AMD mining one https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hardwareamd-true-mining-gpu-from-sapphire-11256-31-10g-confirmed-1966624
They have it in Russia already.

The p104 might be worthwhile if nvidia let users to mod the bios.

"We don’t know yet how many CUDA cores are enabled, but since P104-100 is said to be paired with GDDR5X memory it may as well be GTX 1080. These cards are said to be more efficient than normal GeForce cards in cryptocurrency mining (~30 to ~10% depending on SKU)" - which extra efficiency is easy to account for, they probably disabled a lot or all of the video-specific circuitry via the BIOS or possibly on-chip (an OLD trick, refer to the modded R9 290 BIOS series TheStilt put out for mining back in Litecoin GPU days).

I still think the P106-100 is badly aimed, but I do want to see that P104-100 have at least SOME availability to us "small fry".
Too bad EVGA doesn't seem to be one of the involved "partners" (yet?)....

What altcoins are efficient to mine with GDDR5X?

Waaaaattt?!
That must be hoax, why the hell the 1060 would have GDDR5X? That's bad for mining!

Well yeah, I hope there will be no mining cards.
I have info about AMD mining card https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19556706

if this is true which i hardly think it is, it must mean, 1060 stock clearance or just another master trolling from nvidia again hehe

it was their mistake to make the 1060 192 bits. if this mining card was at least 256 bits then maybe it could be competitive.

They are going to need to get the price down a fair bit under $200 if they want any real interest in such a LOW END (by mining standards) card.

There are those rumours about a GTX 1080-based card for $350 though - THAT should sell well.

If NVidia was paying attention though, they'd put together a 1080 GPU and GDDR 5 (NOT 5x) based card - or at least a 1070 based card - for mining.

$2500 for the "mining system" is way too much to be competative for what it offers. $1500-$1800 would be a competative price.

My supplier quoted me $2500 USD for this. Essentially 8x $250 Gtx 1060s, with $500 in PSU/board/cpu/ram.

It's a fair price, but poor resale value and short warranty. I rather buy the GPUs myself.

LOL its joke, nvidia made ton of money from gaming segment reaching 75% from gpu market, nvdia shouldnt ruined GPUMINING, cause amd is favorable from miner,
lets vega kickout this shit gpu Tongue

I don't think Vega would be good for mining. It should cost like $500 it means 2x RX 580 8GB performance...
Also HBM-1 had very bad timings and timings mean a lot in mining ETH, XRM, ZEC, maybe HBM-2 will be better... It will be probably better for mining altcoins where memory isn't that important...

Makes no sense.

1) This card is competing against the used market. R9 380's are under $100 for about 80% of the stock ETH performance.

2) The only way something like this gets traction among miners is if this card has some miracle power consumption number.

3) Oh yeah, I can't wait to deal with the additional complication of using the onboard display adapter.

Still buying gamer cards unless 2).

the 90 day warranty also doesn't seem to be right since I see many guys saying it is just illegal in Europe.

If it's not sold in Europe, they do not have to apply the European law.
If they sell them and ship them from China, they can apply whatever warranty they want. Even if the product is delivered in Europe.

nice point, I am trying to build nvidia based mining rigs too. I have been watching closely this news and the guy who posted on zcash forum also posted a video on youtube saying the cards will probably be released on or after june 23rd. He added "the chips will be ready by 20th June and will be on the boards by 23rd", I kinda find it hard to digest. moreover no official word also.

I am just being skeptical...

I am going ahead with 1080 Ti and not waiting for this to prove itself.

This news started to circulate with some guy from china posting in the zcash forums followed by what I think are photoshoped pictures of Zotac 1080s and also pictures of stripped down PANGOLINMINER with 8 gpus which looks exactly the same as those pics posted on the rumor post on zcash forum.

having seen all this, I see very little chance of this news being true.

great work! nvidia doesnt play with miners

Thanks bittick.. the 90 day warranty also doesn't seem to be right since I see many guys saying it is just illegal in Europe.
