It is great times, I've being sitting on nearly 700 litecoins, tempted to cash them in for a quick $20,000 USD and I know 8 Pack has around 15 bitcoins to cash in.
The point is miners are buying them. Hence not much stock. Nvidia never was as as amd for mining. Not sure why nvidia want in on this race.

Point is they are availible to buy just miners are taking up a lot of cards making it harder for normal cobsumers to get thier hands on them.
If they make gpus which are cheaper to make then yes they can make more and if they aim these cheaper cards at miners then they are going to buy then instead of more expensive gaming cards. However gaming cards remain at same price just mining cards are cheaper. This then aleavates gaming cards for gaming consumers. It makes sense. It allows for more production of gpus and allows gamers a better chance to buy a card.
I think what he means is if they cant make enough gpu's/cards atm for the market adding another option to the market wont help if the supply of gpu's itself is short
Using basically the same core as the gamer version if there isnt enough there isnt enough! If there isnt a gpu shortage they would simply be making more gaming cards to sell
That changed with the GTX900 series. The reason Nvidia stocks aren't being hit as hard as AMDs by the fly by night miners trying to jump in late on the BTC price surge is simply because those guys aren't that bright, hence paying GTX1070 money for a used RX480 lol.

Logic is flawed.
They'd be buying the mining cards, then just buy the gaming cards after if the supply is exhausted.
Not flawed because chips have to pass certain binnings. If they don't meet certain clock speeds its fine they can have lower clock speeds. It's not clockspeeds that make a significant difference in mining. It helps but doesn't change hash rate. That's why people tend to underclock them helps managed temps and helps keep power usage down saving pennies. So this allows AMD to make more mining cards and gaming cards than there would be over all. And make more money while giving gamers more potential to get their hands on a gaming card. Not to mention AMD can cut the mining cards more than gaming meaning lower development costs.
I very much doubt the will be enough rejects to build a noticable amount of cards, most of these mining cards will use cores that could have gone to gaming cards. If AMD/Nvidia were actually getting near that level of core rejects they would have used them to produce a slower gaming card line by now as they did in the past when rejects were high.

First picture of GP106-100 for mining is confirmed used passive cooler and has no display outputs.
It is interesting to see GPU mining station motherboard supported 8 PCI Express slots, wonder who is the PC mining motherboard manufacturer?

The thing that interests me is that the card has a 16x connector (you don't need that for mining), maybe to prevent people from sticking a dozen in a regular board and blowing it lol.
Now I'm dying to know what he leaked before clearing the post XD

Been told, that each Gpu unit will cost more then a 1060 Card. not sure how they will price this up.
getting any in Gibbo?

They're already selling them and I think he's sold a couple of thousand already but it's to business' only

Really? I thought the idea of these was less warranty so cheaper? Plus buying in bulk. I've seen on google 2 places (international) only offering these cards in batches of 500+. But hell for the price of the GTX 1060 3gb at the moment I may just grab 3 or 3 to fill the empty slots on my boards.
