so, this is not open for retail order & only target big fish like genesis & mining farm unless they buy bulk quantity.right?
I'd say it is available for retail:
http://shop1.heiprotec.de/PC-Hardware-Komponente/Grafikkarten-NVIDIA/Palit-GTX1060-P106-100-6GB-Mining-EDITION::2092.htmlBut I'm not sure if it is a good choice for a private mining.
If you set up a farm with 1000 rigs with, lets say 6 cards each, you'll end up configuring 6000 cards. Do this with a rx 470/480 or 570/580 you are going to end up doing bios upgrades that take you like, lets say 10 minutes per card, so this would be 60'000 minutes. Or in other words 4 months of 8h workdays if you work every day.
But if you can just plug this card into your rig and hit the play button, well that would be a big + for farms.
For my private use I'm going to stick with my rx 470 or the upcoming Vega as I can take my time for each card to run the best setup on it AND sell it to a gamer after I'm done using it.
If a farm is done using the GP106-100 it will probably go to into a recycling bin.
