GIGABYTE Intros P104-100 4G Mining Graphics Card
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.

Edit: Probably not great as its 4x
If it has this warranty, why would it even be a good idea to have it for mining?!
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

Sli needs 8x
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.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
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:
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.
does anybody have a good (sane) reason why i would want to sell them..

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.

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