Thanx I missed that!
Meanwhile I figured out thanx to these:
Explains what should be changed in the inf file to make the driver work: https://github.com/gerdesi/NVIDIA_P106
Very detailed step by step description: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/51928224
And this poster had the same problem as me so I tried to clean any remaining nvidia stuff again and disconnect from internet: http://nga.178.com/read.php?tid=15790899&rand=559
I don't know if I did the right thing, but I edited the driver inf file and changed the hardware id part in it too. (Picture attached. Sorry for the moonlanguage) Also I had to manually install the gtx1060 driver from the driver pack via decive manager because nvidia setup installed the p106-100 automatically and I tought that's could be a problem... Maybe. I don't know what exactly made it work, but should be among them.
I think these urls could be helpful if someone meet the same difficulties.
 
I can't wait to watch the LTT video about this. 

Oh and another thing: nvidia control panel still didn't work. ("You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU")
 
It was a fun project.

Could you leverage this card in a VM (passthrough) and use it to game with a steam link/etc?
 
I only have a display plugged into my gtx1050 so that it the windows vm actually can use it, i only connect remotely/via steam link for gaming.

Just modified the latest nvidia drivers to except the P104. Installing now!

i will post updates

Yo guys
Someone from china(yeah thats my country) has used something like deceptive software to go around NVIDIA`s DirectX Block on P106, which Im sure you guys know, is specific designed for mining. 
I got his tutorial file attached if anyone is interested, since its chinese, I did my best to translate it.
It seems after cracking its DX block ,this thing`s performance can be nearly identical as a GTX1060 6G 
Im still uploading that cracked driver to my google drive, once its done I`ll post link here
 
BTW, how do I let Linus know about this? Maybe LTT can do a video about this
P106.docx

I know my English writing can use some improvement, but Im confident that you guys can understand what Im saying
Here is that "cracked" Drive
