    AW11Ghost got a reaction from Juniiii in Hacking Nvidia's Drivers!   
    I have to wonder.
    The original setup was using the P106 as the main GPU but outputting over the onboard video out.
    The attempt to SLI the P106 with a 1060 didn't work out.
     
    BUT, would it be possible to install two P106's with the hacked drivers, then SLI those, while still outputting video over the onboard video out ports?
    Because if you could... that's a lot of power for a very small amount of money.
     
    As far as limitations go about using nvidia control panel, you could try throwing a third card in of a different generation (or the same), but only enabling SLI on the P106's, i recall a long time ago having two GTX 580's and a GTX 460, and running the 580's in SLI with the 460 as physx slave, so in rough theory, the third card would be used to bypass the control panels demand for video output, allowing you to go in and setup SLI between the two P106's, then use the original method to run the cards through the onboard video connector.

    Given that the ass has fallen out of mining lately, maybe nvidia and it's partners should remove the driver restrictions and market these as egpu cards instead? I mean hell, if you wanted a really cheap and effective egpu, aside from the driver fiddling, the P106 is ideal, no money wasted on ports you aren't going to use, or anything
