Bumping this. My P106 has worked great for over a year but I've now found one game that won't run due to outdated driver. Doom Eternal will not work with driver 1722. Hopefully someone smarter than me will figure out how to make a newer driver work. 1722 is pretty old now (from November 2018). More and more games will fail to run despite the hardware being fully adequate.

I got "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" 

I did

Many steam games appear to be limited to 30 fps, any chance you know what this can be?
Like Garry's mod or Arma 3 I get average 30 fps in high or in low settings (windowed mode). My Vsync is off and I disabled windows 10 GameDVR.

You are welcome. But I ain't a god, He is far above me. Anyways its good to help anyone in need if I can manage it. I myself suffered for 4/5 months for the fix on my 2600k. Then after so long I got into working this out without waiting for other's solution. Putting together other peoples inputs and my experiment it worked out. It was painful for me as my working 960 died in the middle and I had to continue without a working gpu to game.

Managed to run p106-100 in Windows10 1903 in on Sandy bridge 2600k on a asrock z77 board finally.
Steps taken:
1. Install W10 1903 and disable all windows updates.
2. Install all required drivers including vanilla 417.22 driver for nvidia and intel. Restart.
3. Apply registry hack to enable directx for p106-100. Restart.
4. Open device manager and uninstall the intel igpu driver and restart after uninstall. This should show Microsoft basic display adapter after restart.
5. Go to start and open Graphics setting and add game exe as like haswell or newer gen processors but the difference is you select the only available p106-100 as High performance card.
6. Run the game. The game will be very slow but it will run.
7. Go to graphics settings and make it borderless window. as long as it is in fullscreen mode it will not be able to use the card properly. If borderless is not available then just turn off full screen and use Fullscreenizer software to make it full screen.
And now friends you now have P106-100 running in your 2nd/3rd gen intel. 
And to those who said that this is not possible, I will say to you: "Don't discourage a pathfinder fearing that he cant find the path like you, cause you will lose the chance to see that path be opened before you."
NEVER EVER CHANGE WINDOWS TO ANY OTHER VERSION AS WINDOWS ITSELF BREAKS THE CHANCE TO DO THIS IN OTHER VERSIONS.
Games that I ran:
Battlefield 1, NFSH, NFSPB, AC Origins, Middle Earth Shadow of War(this one doesn't work, always capped at 10 fps).

EDIT: Vulcan and DX12 are broken for me atm. They fail to get more than 1200Mhz on the core and then gradually drop to below 300Mhz on core. DX11 works pretty well.
 
 

 

I was able to do it with IVY BRIDGE!! on Windows 7 like nkp123 suggested.
 
"To force vga output in Windows 7 you need to go to the "Screen resolution" menu, click on "Detect" button - another gray screen(s) should pop up in the menu. Click on one of them, and in the drop down menu select something like "Try to connect VGA display on P106-100"."
After that select "Extend Displays" and apply
Then if you set your "virtual monitor" as a Default (Dont do this unless you have a program to switch windows between monitors with keys!! I use Ultramon)  programs will start there and use the P106-100 GPU and you can use your hotkey to switch to your main monitor and it will be good
I got 7600 score on PassMark with this method. It is not perfect but until someone figures out how to enable the "High Power Option" for Ivy Bridge on Windows 10 it works. Thank you nkp123!

So I'm in the club of having a 3rd Gen CPU an Intel 3770K OC @ 4.9GHz and went ahead and picked one of these up only to discover like everyone else they aren't compatible. 
 
Rather than give up does anyone have any ideas where to start poking around? I've got access to the NVIDIA control panel and enabled PhysX and all of those settings are accessible.
 
Looks like the card works fine in Linux also which leads me to believe there should be a registry or driver hack to work around the issue of the dedicated card not being used. 

We will see i suppose
Well I plan on trying it. flashing the Gigabyte Windforce 6GB bios on my P106 its the exact same PCB and even the bioses look similar in a binary compare. I'll let you guys know how it fairs. 

It not working on Windows 10 is not a hardware limitation, it is windows being stupid! (coming from a windows fanboy)

Hello. Welcome to the unlucky group of the people that have old gen CPU's (3rd and below). The "hack" that Linus showed in the video only works with 4th gen above and no one figured out yet how to do it on older gen.
However, there is a way to do it on Windows 7

You will have to run games in windowed or borderless window and then use a hotkey (in Ultramon) to switch to your main display.

Unfortunately, there is no such option, only extending desktop is possible, at least in my case.
To force vga output in Windows 7 you need to go to the "Screen resolution" menu, click on "Detect" button - another gray screen(s) should pop up in the menu. Click on one of them, and in the drop down menu select something like "Try to connect VGA display on P106-100". This is built in mechanism to allow non-EDID/non-PNP VGA displays to be connected and used and apparently it works even for GPUs without VGA or any display output whatsoever.
This method theoretically should work on Windows 10, however in my case it resulted in bluescreen caused by nVidia driver.
