I've got news from the future. Two things: 1) You can now install the latest official drivers (v551.52 as of this writing in 2024) for all the mining cards (P10X and CMP HX series) with the help of this project (will post link in different comment in case YT gets mad with links): NVIDIA-patcher, by Alexander Gavrilov. May the GPU gods bless this man. 2) As for the pci-e lanes, at least on the CMP series, you can soder the missing 0402 220nF capacitors on the back of the card to enable the full 16x. No idea if this works on the P10X series, the lanes could be defused in the chip. For the right/low price, mining cards are still viable for gaming and specially CUDA processing. Good hunt.
Even these things are insanely inflated in price right now - bought one on eBay in June to play around with for $35 - just sold it 2 days ago for $110.

You could try an P104-100. Its a 4GB 1070 with no outputs.

You can get more modern drivers for it, you can either download unofficial drivers, mine are 451.xx havent updated in a while. Probably not a silver bullet solution but stability and performance are generally increased, I havent tested in any newer titles but it is good. I picked mine up for 35$ about a year ago just to use RTX voice and check out some CUDA stuff. You could always rolls up your sleeves and edit the Nvidia installer yourself if you're sketched out by unknown european driver repositories, but, this does require some level of technical ability. Also I'd expect the price to plummet once more as the DAG approaches 3gb on the Ethereum forks such as Eth Classic.

When did you scoop this card? As a miner, I know they've shot up in price recently, considerably! These cards are especially great at mining Ravencoin, right now. I like my P106-090s, and I'm sad that they're getting on.
This was further down in the comments but I thought it needed some more attention. Follow up vid idea? "I read on Linus forums that you can actually run on the latest drivers on Linux. - Didn't try myself though." -Edgar Zakarian
There was this short-lived and unsuccessful at the time tech-gimmick called Lucid Virtu, it was present on Z68 chipset and maybe on some H67/H61 boards, hence Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge (2000/3000 series CPUs). It natively supported, among other things, passing discrete gpu signal through the igpu port, through bios/uefi, so low-level stuff, independent of the operating system. It was generally pointless but the performance decline was almost none. It would be a REALLY cool video if you could find a mobo like that and test it out with such a mining card.
Hey, would using a Xeon that uses the ivy bridge platform support Lucid Virtu? Thinking about putting together a build that would use Lucid Virtu. If it works, I will make a video of how well it does. (If xeons work) Intel Xeon E3-1275 V2 Nvidia P104-100 (slightly better, comparable to a 1070-1080) 16-32 GB ECC Memory (saves money because it’s a Xeon!)
Btw,one of the Russian-speaking TH-camrs have found an Radeon mining GPU, with a Display port,or HDMI only,hiden by a card bracket. After re-arenging the GPU selection jumper resistors,and burning the usual bios,he got a regular video card. I just don't remember, which one was it, originally.
It's unfortunate that this time around there is a silicon shortage at the same time as a mining craze, because releasing mining-specific cards again was a smart move the first time around.
Can you take the heatsink off, get down to pcb and see if there is a place to solder on any kind of video outputs? I was trying to research these cards to see if there is any way to add video outputs..
You can in fact use newer drivers in Linux. The open source driver works without problem on my pop is setup. On Linux you can also sidestep the atleast 4th Gen Intel issue as I can run my 106-100 on 2600k without issues. But on windows making 2nd and 3rd gen work is a huge pain in the backside.
The thing about mining is that the cards get obsolete MUCH faster than with gaming. 2017 cards are basically trash for mining, and soon they won't even work due to mining blocks getting bigger than 6gb. For peak profitability you want an RTX 30 series card, there's no way around it, you need that fast GDDR6 memory for power efficient ETH mining. If anyone is lucky enough to own an RTX 30 card, I recommend letting it mine overnight every night or when you're not gaming during the day, the card is going to pay for itself in 2-4 months. My 3060 ti gets about 4 dollars worth of ETH every night (and the price could spike if you keep the tokens).
I'm curious about something RGinHD that I honestly would like you to try out. How would editing software work with the P106? Would the GPU have good enough videoplayback in an editing setup and support for Nvidia hardware? And... Can the P106 be used in a dual PC setup where the 2nd PC uses streaming or recording software like OBS? Would the P106 would use NVENC encoder in the 2nd PC? I think it might be a cheap and useful solution for those looking for a card to help in those unique fields. I would personally like to know.
at least its 3 gig . much harder for the miners to be profitable with these and more profitable machines in the future . there should be a surplus of these cards available for budget options and should be resupported by Nvidia as its basically running in laptop mode on a desktop , just allow us to specify when we use an exclusively mining card . or a separate gpu in the main slot and have it output via that gpu. it would be simple for Nvidia to pull off.it was already accepted previously
Something that might be useful in windows 10 preview version 20190 and up microsoft added the option to select specific GPU so its possible to have a old video card to use as video output in the system and P106 so select P106 as specific GPU par aplication without having a integraded GPU
Can we just appreciate that Nvidia protected the mining products from gamers but they won't protect the gaming products from miners. On second thought, no lets not appreciate that. I am so mad with Nvidia about the 30 series right now.
@@sandrocarletto9386 Yeah I think eth needs at least 4GB of VRAM now. So these cards are essentially e-waste, on top of how wasteful mining already is. Nvidia nerfing the drivers for them is a dick move really, since nobody will use them for mining anymore letting gamers use them would save at least a few from ending up as literal trash, but Nvidia wants people to pay through the nose for their newer gaming cards instead.
Please build a budget 4K gaming pc that targets 4K 30fps in new AAA titles or even 60fps in older titles. With console equivalent settings (or just medium to high)
Nvidia should unlock the drivers. As it stands they're just going onto the ewaste pile. And as there's a GPU shortage at the moment this would be a good way to alleviate both issues
I have one of these cards in my PC for Folding@Home. Not the fastest due to the power limit of the VBIOS compared to an actual 1060 but does the job for a good price via eBay! I broke a fan blade by sticking my finger in it, so ended up swapping the cooler from a dead Zotac 1060 AMP! card, making it cooler and a bit quieter. The VBIOS on these only lets the fans go as low as 40% so I ended up running them from a PWM header on my motherboard so I had more control over the noise!
I'm the 420th comment and I'm not going to lie to you. I love the channel and didn't want to f with your click through rating.... so I lowered the volume and went on to valheim
what if you change the bios of the card? like those chinese cards with random bios in them ? like for example putting a 1060 bios soo you can use the newer drivers ?

When did you scoop this card? As a miner, I know they've shot up in price recently, considerably!
These cards are especially great at mining Ravencoin, right now.
I like my P106-090s, and I'm sad that they're getting on.
This was further down in the comments but I thought it needed some more attention. Follow up vid idea?
"I read on Linus forums that you can actually run on the latest drivers on Linux. - Didn't try myself though."

There was this short-lived and unsuccessful at the time tech-gimmick called Lucid Virtu, it was present on Z68 chipset and maybe on some H67/H61 boards, hence Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge (2000/3000 series CPUs). It natively supported, among other things, passing discrete gpu signal through the igpu port, through bios/uefi, so low-level stuff, independent of the operating system. It was generally pointless but the performance decline was almost none.
It would be a REALLY cool video if you could find a mobo like that and test it out with such a mining card.
Hey, would using a Xeon that uses the ivy bridge platform support Lucid Virtu? Thinking about putting together a build that would use Lucid Virtu. If it works, I will make a video of how well it does.
(If xeons work)
Intel Xeon E3-1275 V2
Nvidia P104-100 (slightly better, comparable to a 1070-1080)
16-32 GB ECC Memory (saves money because it’s a Xeon!)
Btw,one of the Russian-speaking TH-camrs have found an Radeon mining GPU, with a Display port,or HDMI only,hiden by a card bracket.
After re-arenging the GPU selection jumper resistors,and burning the usual bios,he got a regular video card.
I just don't remember, which one was it, originally.
i think that flashing the bios of the card unlocks a lot of its potential
Can't you flash a 1060 3gb bios onto that card and use it with the updated drivers?
Hello I have a biostar a320 mh MB and a ryzen 3 3200 g and when I connect the gpu to the MB the screen goes black, please help, I am desperate
It's unfortunate that this time around there is a silicon shortage at the same time as a mining craze, because releasing mining-specific cards again was a smart move the first time around.
A modern mining card would be a 3060 or 3050 with GDDR6X and a backplate with cooling fins.
Can you take the heatsink off, get down to pcb and see if there is a place to solder on any kind of video outputs? I was trying to research these cards to see if there is any way to add video outputs..
You can in fact use newer drivers in Linux. The open source driver works without problem on my pop is setup. On Linux you can also sidestep the atleast 4th Gen Intel issue as I can run my 106-100 on 2600k without issues. But on windows making 2nd and 3rd gen work is a huge pain in the backside.
what are u gonna play in linux anyway
@@urnoob5528 nearly my entire steam library. why do you ask? its not like olden times where it was hard to play games on linux.
Just finished watching Linus's video only to find a notification about this one.
Yeah this guy just copied Linus

Nice
Someone should make Compilation Clip about all these "Hello (everyone) and Welcome to Another Video,now" :D:D. Legendary
have you tried using it with The Beast external gpu adapter with a laptop? just curious, might work
with Linux(ubuntu,popOS) u can use newest driver without registry tweak,just game!(with integrated graphic,ofc)
why you dont try Ocam for capturing gameplay when shadowplay is not working?
Haven't been watching this channel for a while, glad to be back, but I'm missing something. Whatever happened to Dave?
2:45 what about radeon relive? :v
the video output is on the Vega...
How couldn't you use the capture card? Aren't those simply intercepting the video signal from the cable?
The thing about mining is that the cards get obsolete MUCH faster than with gaming. 2017 cards are basically trash for mining, and soon they won't even work due to mining blocks getting bigger than 6gb. For peak profitability you want an RTX 30 series card, there's no way around it, you need that fast GDDR6 memory for power efficient ETH mining.
If anyone is lucky enough to own an RTX 30 card, I recommend letting it mine overnight every night or when you're not gaming during the day, the card is going to pay for itself in 2-4 months. My 3060 ti gets about 4 dollars worth of ETH every night (and the price could spike if you keep the tokens).
How’s NVEnc and NVDec on these cards?
Can they be used as accelerator card for old computers to enable video capture and editing?
I'm curious about something RGinHD that I honestly would like you to try out.
How would editing software work with the P106? Would the GPU have good enough videoplayback in an editing setup and support for Nvidia hardware?
And...
Can the P106 be used in a dual PC setup where the 2nd PC uses streaming or recording software like OBS? Would the P106 would use NVENC encoder in the 2nd PC?
I think it might be a cheap and useful solution for those looking for a card to help in those unique fields. I would personally like to know.
did do very good research on it then
Can you do a video about changing an power conector to an gpu?
What about if you did this with a eGPU enclosure, you could get around the issue that it doesn't have display outputs.
I hadn’t thought of that to be honest but yeah it should work with the same driver/ tweak
Could be handy if you’re playing with Different SLI?
Video idea: is the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950x worth it in 2021?
AMD mining cards have a DVI connector. Are they any better?
Can you use it as a dedicated GPU for a laptop? Using the integrated display.
at least its 3 gig . much harder for the miners to be profitable with these and more profitable machines in the future . there should be a surplus of these cards available for budget options and should be resupported by Nvidia as its basically running in laptop mode on a desktop , just allow us to specify when we use an exclusively mining card . or a separate gpu in the main slot and have it output via that gpu. it would be simple for Nvidia to pull off.it was already accepted previously
Is it possible to use it for compute on Linux? I want to use a few of these for Blender Cycles and maybe EEVEE.
420k subs nice!
Something that might be useful in windows 10 preview version 20190 and up microsoft added the option to select specific GPU so its possible to have a old video card to use as video output in the system and P106
so select P106 as specific GPU par aplication without having a integraded GPU
420 thousand subs. Niiiiice
Can we just appreciate that Nvidia protected the mining products from gamers but they won't protect the gaming products from miners.
On second thought, no lets not appreciate that. I am so mad with Nvidia about the 30 series right now.
This GPUs are totally useles nowdays... they can't even be used to take profit on mining...
they cant mine eth anymore right?
@@sandrocarletto9386 Yeah I think eth needs at least 4GB of VRAM now. So these cards are essentially e-waste, on top of how wasteful mining already is. Nvidia nerfing the drivers for them is a dick move really, since nobody will use them for mining anymore letting gamers use them would save at least a few from ending up as literal trash, but Nvidia wants people to pay through the nose for their newer gaming cards instead.
@@sandrocarletto9386 ETH DAG size is over 4GB already... Some 4 GB still can mine in zombie mode but with less hash power...
@@Middcore mining cards are a bad idea anyway since if eth crashes miners can just sell the cards to gamers and afaik thats exactly what happens
You can't do ETH and RVN with these, rest is fine, but performance is going downhill. Really disappointing;
Please build a budget 4K gaming pc that targets 4K 30fps in new AAA titles or even 60fps in older titles. With console equivalent settings (or just medium to high)
Any chance you could try it on Linux? It wouldn't have the driver issues I don't think.
Nvidia should unlock the drivers. As it stands they're just going onto the ewaste pile. And as there's a GPU shortage at the moment this would be a good way to alleviate both issues
I have one of these cards in my PC for Folding@Home. Not the fastest due to the power limit of the VBIOS compared to an actual 1060 but does the job for a good price via eBay!
I broke a fan blade by sticking my finger in it, so ended up swapping the cooler from a dead Zotac 1060 AMP! card, making it cooler and a bit quieter. The VBIOS on these only lets the fans go as low as 40% so I ended up running them from a PWM header on my motherboard so I had more control over the noise!
I'm the 420th comment and I'm not going to lie to you. I love the channel and didn't want to f with your click through rating.... so I lowered the volume and went on to valheim
It's like Optimus for PC! Except Optimus for PC makes no sense
Maybe you could try a radeon mining card, I've seen some mining versions with dvi output
what if you change the bios of the card? like those chinese cards with random bios in them ? like for example putting a 1060 bios soo you can use the newer drivers ?
I got a rx 480 8GB miner card for 100$ a couple years ago and still kicks modern games asses
maybe force flash a 1060 3gb vbios??? or a 1050?? am quite interested if the vbios flash is successful
could this be used to do nvenc encoding on allowing your video card and cpu to just play games ?
