Nvidia's specialized P102-100 cryptomining cards leaked by Inno3D

[Redaktion]

The latest Inno3D leak confirms previous rumors about Nvidia separating gaming GPUs and mining GPU production. However, Inno3D's mining card is powered by a Pascal-based chip, so the rumored Turing chips based on Volta might not be released this spring, after all. The P102-100 cards seem to be twice as efficient compared to stock GTX 1080 models.

I wonder if one could use these cards as actual graphics cards in Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosures to power laptop's internal display — granted they'd probably be too expensive for that, but what use is something if you can't use it for something it wasn't designed for. :-D
