We didn’t recommend using the Chinese driver in our mining GPU video, but now, we’ll show you how to make Nvidia’s drivers work for yourself – And how to go deeper.

Nvidia will probably introduce integrity checking by comparing the hashes of the drivers
+Hoseiko You could reroute the URL used to download the hash.
+Senk Ju and then it refuses to run the game or Flags you as a cheater if it is unable to download the necessary information to perform the check
+Jtzkb And how is it supposed to find out that you rerouted it?
+Senk Ju when reply times out
+Guardian Arias why would it time out? You’ll make sure your URL is up and running.
Don’t think Nvidia will send you more GPUs after this…
Hahahaha xD
+Alexandru Bucur Dan hello smart man
+LoG me smart ? XD man im just above average no more im a nerd xD
Anthony’s voice is sugar chocolate in my ears.
NEIN! GTX 1060 DOESN”T SUPPORT SL- oh…
Hex editing binaries on LTT..never thought I’d see the day.
+Adk9p I thought about that, well its a little bit unwise to comment without watching the whole video isn’t it?
+Scape Oh 100% you are right. I was more criticizing the people who were jumping to conclusions which I also see as unwise…
this is a glorious day
+Wip3ou7 LOL
Ok at 9:50 thats hex. I said that because I stopped watching at 4:20 which was not Hex.
Soooo,… How much faster rendering do these cards provide for programs that don’t use SLI, but just a bunch of Cuda cores, like DaVinci Resolve ??? Can we load up a PC with two of the P106’s and a single GTX1060?
i would love to know this answer
Upvote this
Gave it a like, for Anthony! FOR ANTHONY!!!! Tony! Tony! Tony!
Anyone else miss TunnelBear?
I hate to be the BEARer of bad news but they have moved on to better VPN
Esdras Flores NordVPN collects data too
rip tunnel bear
+javachips those damn Nords i want my privacy back maybe i should use privacy shield
+javachips it’s been proven multiple times that NordVPNs encryption is random and untraceable even by them.
watch as Nvidia patches this
can’t patch old driver versions that aren’t in their control anymore
+DanielRichards644 yes but you wont get access to the latest nvidia features from the updates.
+AlphaCharlie4 and who’s to say you care about the latest features? or can even use them.
+DanielRichards644 lol good point. i tend to get this urge to keep things up to date but if you dont care about new features the mining cards are still a great deal. you do you
+AlphaCharlie4 who aayd u can’t? Just replace the launcher and its dependencies
14:19 Damn that fps scales from 1 to 2 cards about as well as the old vodoo cards in sli.
This video is definitely not sponsored by NVIDIA
Who’s this pretentious fella and how do I become his student?
I know, right?
day 1: hacking nvidia’s drivers
day 2: *_hacking the pentagon’s nvidia drivers_*
Day 5 -Linus hacks the universe
It’s ethical hacking it’s ok 😅
Day 6: Gamers Nexus hacks LTT
day 5: making Cross-SLI with AMD and Nvidia
+Borderland Tutorials Nope, hacking 2x GT 1030 GDDR3 (if a GDDR3 version existed though) to turn it into a RTX 2060 with GDDR6
Anthony is a super cool dude.
One like for Anthony
Give Anthony his own series about super-technical stuff like this. I’d watch it even if i don’t understand a thing!
Totally, he’s like an acended linus.
He is definitely very easy to listen to. His intonation reminds me of Big Clive and he has the great Newfoundland accent.
Yes please
+Jen Lai I think all the hate people are throwing at you is a bit.. off putting. 1. Anthony is morbidly obese. 2. This is none of your business. 3. People should be concerned for Anthony, not Rude to you. 4. Anthony.. Buy. Some. New. Pants.
+rompdude appearance aside is it ever a good thing to be obese? besides that I’m concerned about his health. lastly I have belly fat too and I’m working hard to get rid of it.
That “Anthony” is pretty smart. You need more guys like him 😄
Hey guys, two things that could work to flash the actual bios of the P106 to the one of a 1060:
1. Locate the physical bios chip and try to flash the bios with an EEPROM flasher.
2. Desolder the bios chip of a 1060 and solder it onto the P106 board. I know this probably won’t make sense by cost but it would be a cool proof of concept.
