There is some buzz about new nvidia cards dedicated to mining. They are surrounded by mystery because they were not initially officially announced by Nvidia. Only a few sources reported them in the beginning. Recently Nvidia made the officially announcement and now the first cards are reaching the stores.
Few people were lucky enough to grab a few of those cards and luckily they reported the performance of those cards.

Those cards are having the same performance as the regular GTX 1060 cards. I'm not sure if those cards are the official P106-100 Nvidia promised or they are some GTX 1060 modified by MSI. Since they come for a price of 200 usd, they don't bring any extra hash so probably it's much better to stick with the GTX 1060 because of its resellability.
by the looks of those power draws, these would probably be great if you are looking to add more power to an existing rig that is already mining 24/7
Hmm.. I just ordered some of these model from another brand. Hope mine will do 25 MH/s like the brand claims they do. I pay 260 USD per card also.. so this post has scared me a little.
where can you buy these cards?
Where are these cards available from?
