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.
haha ya the 1080ti is like damn near the best GPU miner money can buy right now
these new "miner" cards were because NOONE bought "460" and "1060" so they reused the chips with a rebrand, anyone can see that
or so i thought ;p
If what you said was even close to true, overpriced 1080's and 1080 Ti's wouldn't be the only GPU's there was never an issue with availability anywhere.
Spoken like a true 1070 bag holder
dude they USED to be king but lets do the FACTS TODAY:
--they bring in what 2$ a day each? pfft, hope you have a whole house for your 1070's cause your gonna need that many
--they cost 60% as much at 1080ti, but you lose all that cash easy and more building WHOLE new rigs just to have the SAME HASH (even less in total) as 1080ti buyers :/
-- you end up with 25 rigs that cost the same as MY 12 rigs and i have MORE HASH :/ your crazy if you think 1070 is STILL better today.
-- 1070 will have way less resale, tell me, whats a used 980ti go for now, hmm? 400 USD, STILL. whats a 970 go for? exactly., like 200
-- what are your MAN hours worth? jesus ill keep my 12 rigs over 25, thats a headache in itself...
so have fun with your 1070 scramble starting now and over next 3 months, im sitting pretty on buying 1080ti's 30 days ago, ill easily ROI b4 volta, then get GREAT resale if i chose to sell, and buy Volta
oh, and whats your arguement? people buy them? people buy garbage here all the time or is that new to you?
Spoken like a typical buyer of overpriced 1080 Ti's, that's also bad at math!
My argument is pretty clear for anyone that can do basic math and it doesn't require any convoluted prognostications. I mostly have RX 470/580 4GB cards that I bought for between $190 to $230 each and two rigs with a total of 9 cards and less than $2500 spent TOTAL on the two rigs. For the money I spent on my two rigs you can barely buy three 1080 TI's alone, which will give you nowhere near the same amount of hash that I get from my 9 AMD cards. As far a ROI, up until this month the rigs were generating $1000 a month and I'm currently well over half way of having the rigs ROI payed off. If I chose to do so, I could also sell the cards TODAY for ~50% MORE than what I paid for them. Try doing that with a 1080 Ti. That just shows you how badly overpriced 1080 Ti's are as mining cards. I don't have any 1070's, though regrettably I did buy a 1080 for $500 that I use for Zcash before I found out how overpriced they are for their performance. ROI is going to take A LOT longer on that one.
