Behold the Mighty p104-100

[ProngsOldGuy]

Before I'm started I want to say that this is not a guide whatsoever. This is just me share my experience gaming using ones of mining GPU. I'm not responsible for lost of money because of buying the GPU more expensive than it should, and or if the GPU doesn't work as good as you hoping to.

 

Ones of my Client is kindly enough to lent me this beast.

 

Continuing my other exploration this link

 

I present you the power of another mining card

 

The method is basically same as this thread

 

The modded driver worked flawlessly

 

I'll post the result after I finished install new copy of windows

 

 

For some unknown reason EVGA stamped GTX 1080 name on it. Wich is not true, this gpu is legit Nvidia P104-100.

It is 8gb, try use win 10 1803 version. For pci-e x4 1.1 you could change it in bios. Under PCH setting. Or search for pci-e speed on your bios. And change it into gen 3. You'll get

[ProngsOldGuy]

Gen 3 speed. I never check 4x or 16x tough. I guess that was gpu fault

@ProngsOldGuy sure thats not a p106-100? i upgraded from p106-100 6gb to p104-100 8gb recently, mine also runs at the x4, but heaven benchmark score went from

1400-ish 1080p fullscreen max settings opengl render (p106-100 6gb)

 

to 2000 same settings with a p104-100. have you a bios mod to enable the disabled cores and make it like a 1080 non-ti? i got 2 for sli on gta, but wine doesn't support sli, not does heaven linux.

May I know how you got the p104s to work for gaming? I've tried to mod the drivers a few times but it fails to install every time.

@potato_man

 

well, i installed ubuntu 16.04 without the card attached to the pcie slot/in the system.

then booted in with igpu and used the command "sudo apt-get update" once i finished, i turned the pc off and threw the p104 in. last swap to nvidia driver in "additional drivers" tab from the dash. your fans will be loud on the opensource driver till you swap.

 

word of warning, the card will only work if it has a fan attached. passively cooled didn't. add the "graphics team ppa if you want 418 driver/dxvk games to work. 

 

newer versions of ubuntu should work the same didn't test as i dislike gnome de. make sure igpu is always on in bios before doing this, also if you swap drivers do a shutdown-reboot between swapping or you get issues.

 

i had a p106-100 before the 104, as well as a 104 sli but ssadly no games get the sli support even through wine. so this should work. drivers 385-430 were tested. no mods needed on linux.
