NVIDIA explicitly blocked the P106 (and its cousin, the P104-100) in its standard drivers. The official drivers only recognize cards with display outputs. You have to force-feed it modified drivers. There is no "official" driver for gaming on a P106-100. You have two community-driven paths. Option 1: The Modified INF Method (Most Common) This involves taking an official NVIDIA driver and editing the .inf (information) file to add the P106-100’s hardware ID. This tells the installer, "Yes, this card is allowed."

The driver situation is a mess—but a solvable one. Use the community-proven 47.89 leak, enable your iGPU, and accept that you’ll spend an afternoon wrestling with driver signatures. If that sounds like fun, you’ll be rewarded with shockingly good performance for a card that costs less than a pizza. NVIDIA explicitly blocked the P106 (and its cousin,
Here’s a blog post tailored for tech enthusiasts, miners, and budget PC builders. It covers the tricky reality of getting the NVIDIA P106-100 (a mining card) working for gaming or compute tasks. The NVIDIA P106-100 is a fascinating piece of silicon history. Built on the GP106 GPU (the same core as a GTX 1060 6GB), it was never meant for gamers. It was a dedicated mining card—no display outputs, no official Game Ready support. There is no "official" driver for gaming on a P106-100
This driver is pre-modified, stable, and crucially, does require disabling driver signature enforcement every boot. It’s the closest thing to a "set and forget" solution.
Almost before we knew it, we had left the ground. All their equipment and instruments are alive.Mist enveloped the ship three hours out from port. The spectacle before us was indeed sublime.A red flair silhouetted the jagged edge of a wing.
