p106-100 card is exactly same chip and specifications as for gtx 1060, just a little tweaked clock and memory, you may use 1060 but why use it if you can have hands on 1080 or 1080ti,
those guys at nvidia are making us idiots, first they seperated HPC cards from gaming cards and selling them at enormously high prices, now they seperated card for mining, while actually they are same. I am a researcher, and use GPU's for superconducting simulations, I know how they fooled us by selling k80's and m60's.
because 1080 and 1080Ti aren't so good for mining, and all other cards are basically sold out.
You forgot the "ETH" in that statement.
1080 and 1080ti aren't good ETH miners, but they rock on a lot of other coins like ZEC and DGB....
There are NO RX 460 based mining cards.
GTX 1060 HAVE been getting bought up by a lot of miners (and the pricing has gone very high and shortage has been serious for a couple weeks or so) as they are a decent ETH miner for their CURRENT price compared to CURRENT pricing on most other decent ETH mining cards.
The new "mining specific" cards do seem to be having SOME effect on pricing though, but it's going to take a LOT more sales for them to bring gaming cards back down to 3-month-ago pricing.
There WILL be a resale market for the "mining-specific" cards - they're still going to be usable as second cards in DirectX 12 gaming machines, or for SLI/Crossfire usage as a second card, or for GPGPU usage.
It's not going to be a HUGE market though.
