12 pcs P106-100 6GB gives 267.6 MH ethash
12 pcs P106-100 6GB gives between 122MH and 130MH kawpow.
The power consumption is the same at the wall.

Why does kawpow algorithm hashrate change all the time ?
What value should I put in the calculator to predict daily revenue ?
I always look at the real income on the pool. 122MH or 130MH is not such a big difference at current coin prices. When mining on the kawpow algorithm, the powerlimit can be slightly increased, because the core of the video card is also involved in mining.
What miner are you using? Try other miners of the latest versions.

I use t-rex-ver. 0.26.5
I know now Kawpow algo hashrate doesnt have a static hashrate value. So, 122MH and 130MH changes is ok now.
Do you advise me any miner for NVIDIA ?

You are already using the best miner for Nvidia cards so even if you change to another miner I doubt you will see better performance and so there is no point in changing.For the pool it fluctuates the hash rate as it is based on how many shares per hour you submit in most pools so there is nothing wrong with that,you will always see a different reported hash rate than the pool hash rate.Just keep mining RVN as it is better to mine it right now because it has an increase in price while Ethereum mining is going to end soon so mining RVN is one of the best alternatives right now.

I think these are different mining rigs with same set of graphic cards? Well just because the name is the same doesn't mean you will get same performance from all the graphic cards, some have Micron memory and some have Samsung or hynix memory, use different clock settings.

it is thesame rig. kawpow algo hashrate isnt a static value. I learnt.

I've mining ETH for a long time, but I mined some RVN before

The algo Kawpow was made to not work with Asics or at least to make the life os Asics devs very hard, it's the 3rd algo of RVN evolution.
Explaining in a simple way, it's like a couple of algos and the order of these are based on the hash of the last generated block.
It's better to read the official info here:

Quote
The algorithm is intended to address the centralization of mining caused by ASIC hardware. In the original X16R algorithm paper, the team behind the currency explains that the fixed order of ordinary hashing algorithms lends itself to the construction of ASIC miners.

The initial X16R algorithm aimed to overcome this problem by constantly disrupting the ordering of the hashing algorithms – it uses the same algorithms used in X15 and SHA512, but the ordering of those algorithms was changed based on the hash of the previous block. Eventually it became economically viable for X16R ASIC's and the community decided to implement new algorithms to mitigate the unfair distribution of Ravencoin. The community has carried out 2 algorithm forks to date to mitigate the potential efficiency improvements of the ASIC miners equipment compared to over the counter consumer grade equipment.

The current  KAWPOW algorithm aims to overcome the problem of centralisation of mining by utilising over the counter graphic processing unit (GPU) memory and compute capabilities. This is intended to allow most consumer grade GPU hardware to mine Ravencoin. The KAWPOW algorithm was derived from ProgPOW and ethhash, with modifications, to improve the distribution of Ravencoin to everyone.
