I thinks it's a good idea for miners AND gamers IF the price is low.
- For gamers: The lack of outputs will make this card exclusive for miners and will not disrupt gaming GPUs market prices and availability.
- For miners: The price tag must be low enough to compensate the expected low resell value (null for gaming...)

Two words: Physics card.

what would you mine with that?
k3vst3r
Ethereum or Zcash

Asus jumping on the RX unavailable bandwagon?
Hopefully it will help the gaming cards go to gamers instead of the faggots using them for mining.
Embra
Wow, that was quick. Hopefully miners buy them instead.

Hmm,Nvidia & Pascal for mining?No way.
Few users will buy this,for testing only.As you know,Amd/ATI are very good for mining.
But after mining is done,nobody will re-buy this "mining" card.

Asus are trying to shift their excess stock of 1060's I see.

If you have an i3 i7 or i5 with intergraded graphics i think you can use it's ports to output the signal no?if yes depending on the price might be rather interesting . I have an old 2nd monitor d-sub so i use my 3770's d-sub port to conneft it ,when ever i move a game to this monitor i ser no perfomance impact it is still run on my old trusty 770

I could be wrong but I believe that the GPU has to have this enabled as well in the bios of the chip?

I personally almost fell for the mining craze again.
If the gold rush has taught us anything, more money is made to supply the craze than the actual mining itself. Anyone who didn't jump on this months, if not years ago, may simply be throwing money away. The only people who are profiting off of this phase are the people the people who are mining on a macro scale.

Not GPU, but MB. (This is actually wrong too as Lucid Virtu needs no special HW anywhere, it is just software solution.) Lucid Virtu did support it.
And I used to use some down-scaling libraries where you could copy parts of viewport and export(+upscale/donwscale) to any video output.
(SoftTH is name for those libraries.)

It mines eth at about 19Mh/s overclocked. That's 280 performance.
I don't imagine many would buy it.
It's smarter to get an used 7950, 7970, 280, 280x, 290, 290x, 390, 390x. All cost less and mine better.

you do not factor in the the electricity cost to run the cards if you are planning to run this thing 24/7 for months it is a major factor ...although at this point 2x560 will do better job than a single 1060 no ?
labidas
where I live 1kwh costs around 6 cents €. I wouldn't give a crap about electricity.

You realize people will buy these in other countries right?

If they still have the sli finger on them they could make great add on cards for sli (even though sli is mostly dead) But the price has to be right.
Venix
well here i pay about 20 euro cents per kwh i pay every 4 months last time i paid 166 euros for 823 kwh having a card alone chewing about 3.5 kwh per 24 hours means 420 kwh so 84euros per 4 months just to run a single card 24/7 and i doupt that 1060 can make that back + the cost of the card not for me at least

Rumor is that these will only have a 3 month warranty.... if true that makes them unappealing to me even if they price them low. Zero resale value is a kicker too.
Athlonite
It probably would have been more meaningful if they'd have made these as a physX addin for us AMD gpu owners and strip out the crap that stops nVidia running if placed next to an AMD gpu from the drivers
