GIGABYTE today rolled out the GV-NP104D5X-4G, a mining graphics card based on NVIDIA P104-100 mining processor. Derived from the "GP104" silicon, the P104-100 is configured with 1,920 CUDA cores on this card, paired with 4 GB of GDDR5X memory across its 256-bit wide memory interface. What's more interesting, although the GP104 features a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 bus interface, the card has only x4 wiring, although the slot interface itself is of x16 length.

The GPU core clock speed for the GV-NP104D5X-4G is 1607 MHz, with 1733 MHz GPU Boost, and its memory is clocked at 10 GHz (GDDR5X-effective). The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, and has no display outputs. It's cooled by a rather simple aluminium fin-stack heatsink, ventilated by three fans, carried over from the company's latest WindForce 3X cooling solution. Unlike its consumer GeForce graphics cards, this card is backed by only a 3-month warranty. The card will be significantly cheaper than the GTX 1080 or GTX 1070.

Hasn't the demand for mining cards gone down recently? I have seen most GPU SKUs back in stock and at nearly pre-mining craze prices.

No sane cryptominer (oxymoron to some, i know) will buy a GPU that he can't sell later

If it has this warranty, why would it even be a good idea to have it for mining?!

if the price is right i think i would buy it if intending to build a miner rig..

ruining 24/7 is like three years of normal gaming use for most people the warranty reflects this..

if things go right there would be no need to sell it..

i am mining and i recon my sanity is vaguely okay.. he he

[warning-joke]obviously ... since it's the main income for them .... buying, mining a few penny burning down the card for month, reselling at retail price[/joke]

So it's basically a GTX1070 with no video outputs, no warranty and..... no redeaming features lol.

Why don't manufacturers understand that using a chip for a mining card instead of a gaming cards to stop miners hoovering up the gaming cards is self defeating because they are removing a gaming card from the pool before it even hits shelves lol.


How does it game??

Edit: Probably not great as its 4x
It's a PCI-E 3.0 4x slot, so the same performance as a PCI-E 2.0 8x slot, performance loss would be unnoticable by a human for a GTX1070 but I doubt your going to have much luck gaming with no video output :p

No sane cryptominer plans on selling later.

Given some of these ASICS have been shown to have faulty display output sections, don't be so certain of that.

No sane cryptominer plans on selling later.
then almost none of them are sane ... because lately on 95% of the card i got second hand, for various rigs for friends (upgrade, budget build etc), were mining card, even worse some were completely useless and artifacting like mad or not even taking a light OC beyond stock clock (even at second hand ... it's unacceptable :laugh: ) luckily i got low price on most but some i saw were close to retail price :)

i saw a 1070 mentioned "light mining for 5 month" at 549chf which was launch price for me (i got mine at 526chf, well ... 1chf and 525chf insurance compensation .... )

oh well ... Cryptocurrencies ... :rolleyes:

This is uh... far from correct. I know many people in crypto communities and... no exceptions, all of them were interested in the selling value of the hardware.
It is actually an integral part of the GPU choice. We're talking about 30-50% investment return. So, that's where the sanity comment came from.

i have ten 1070 cards currently producing just over 30 dollars per day or 210 dollars per week or 840 per month.. these figures are on the low side.. they can go up to $1000 dollars per month..

does anybody have a good (sane) reason why i would want to sell them..

The keyword is "sane"

No one makes money that way. At least not big money. And few to no GPU-farms do this. Guaranteed. I worked for one here in the Pacific Northwest so I'm not just guessing on this.

https://toom.im/

Might be applying for work there again soon at this rate.

then almost none of them are sane

You'd be correct. Ever hear the saying "You never make money following the herd?"

Also I wouldn't be so quick to blame mining for your woes. Mining is not near as much "card rape" as people believe. The hardware of today can take it no problem for YEARS let alone the months since that 1070 probably got listed.
