Discovered that the NVIDIA GTX 1060 series of GPUs is about to be “reincarnated” into “coin card”

A new series of GTX 1060 GPUs has been registered by Palit, and it seems that it is being revived as a coin bull.

The famous NVIDIA GTX 1060 card seems to be about to be revived to be reincarnated as a… buffalo, guys. Well, Palit has just registered a series of P106 video cards with the Eurasian Economics Commission. And if you don’t know, the NVIDIA P106 card was released in the context of everyone rushing to dig coins in 2017.

They are designed to mine Etherium with the Pascal GPU architecture, similar to the GP106 GPU on the popular GTX 1060 card. It seems that Palit is targeting GP106 to revive it and give it one last mission: Mining.

The original Palit P106 had a slightly different model number, but these newly registered versions have the same naming as the GTX 16-series card. GPU P106 is basically a GTX 1060 card with no output port, so after mining, it cannot be sold to gamers.

At the time of 2017-2018, when mining was booming, neither NVIDIA nor AMD had time to react. By the time farmers released their “buffalo plow”, almost no one wanted to buy a new card, causing a lot of inventory of NVIDIA and AMD. This is one of the main reasons why the NVIDIA Turing generation took so long to launch.
