  1. Good news! Using Proxmox as a hypervisor, I managed to create an Ubuntu VM with the P106-100 passed through to the VM. I editied some config files to spoof the hardware id of the GPU and using the command lspci I could see that it reports it as a GTX 1060. However, using the command nvidia-smi it does not recognise the GPU and gives me an error. I have not tried Windows yet (which is the end goal) but I still want to try some more tweaking before I declare it as a failure. I can share the config files that I changed if anyone is interested. If anyone has a copy of the stock GTX 1060 6GB bios and could provide me with a copy that would be fantastic, thanks!
  2. Is it possible to run a VM and spoof the hardware id of the card to a 1060 or something? I'm trying to use Unreal Engine 5's Nanite features but I am having problems that I think are caused by outdated drivers.
  3. Hi, I have bought a P106-100 Mining GPU. I currently have a 1st gen intel core i7 so the modified driver hack from this video: I was planning on getting a new CPU and I was wondering if the AMD Ryzen CPUs with Vega graphics would work? Thanks!
  4. Ok thanks. Do I still need iGPU with the method shown in the video? Thanks!
  5. Ok thanks for the replies! I have a few questions: Is it possible to emulate an iGPU? I understand it would be slow but I am willing to try it. Do you have any suggestions on what software could do this? Also I came across this video: That I don't really understand. Would that solve my problem? Thanks very, very much for the help!
  6. Hi, I own an Intel Core i7 930 1st gen CPU. In the same computer I have a NVIDIA P106-100 (mining card) and a NVIDIA GT 170 (for display output) as GPUs. Normally I use the P106-100 GPU for Machine Learning as well as 3D rendering both of wich do not require video output from the GPU. This is something that I have been using for several months and has been just fine. However, after watching Linus' videos about gaming on the P106-100 I thought that that could be a nice addition. However, since I have a 1st gen CPU I am unable to select the P106-100 for high performance. I was aware of this when I bought it. I was just wondering if it would be possible to run a Virtual Machine of Windows 10 or an emulator that emulates a 4th gen or higher Intel CPU? Is this possible or am I crazy? Thanks very much!
  7. Thanks! How does a p106-90 compare? They seem a lot less rare.
  8. Hi, Thanks for the reply, The main reason is I want to save money on it. I really need anything with CUDA that is cheap. The RX 580 is AMD so it does not have CUDA right? Thanks!
  9. Hi!, I heard that you can buy old cryptocurrency mining GPUs that don't have a video output making them cheap. I am not interested in gaming on them, purly the computational power. I would like to get them cheaper than I could with a normal GPU. I can't seem to figure out which cards these are. Would they be suitible for machine learning? If you know anything, thank you in advance. Thanks!
