Also, some more info and final specs of the GTX 1060 have been revealed http://videocardz.com/62086/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-rumors-part-5-full-specs-2-0-ghz-overclocking First there are some Ashes of the Singularity benches that I won't post, as well as some OpenCL benchmarks that make it look faster than the 480 and 970, but slower than the 980.
See that Bitcoing Mining score? Pair that with those single slot Asus cards and I bet those cards will be very hard to find. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 can hit 2.0 GHz Here’s the first screenshot allegedly showing GTX 1060 hitting 2 GHz in Heaven Benchmark. Card hits 2012 MHz boost clock with 116% power target and temperature at around 74 C. That’s achieved with 61% fan speed (2000 RPM), but there’s no information how loud that is. Click on the picture to see the full screenshot.
NVIDIA Pascal GP106 Block Diagram confirms 80 TMUs and 48 ROPs The number of Texture Mapping Units and Raster Operating Units is always hard to confirm unless we have the official block diagram. Well the good news is that the diagram was leaked, so it’s no longer a secret. Just like we said those 108 TMUs shown in previous leak did not really make any sense. So it is not 108 but 80 TMUs. However what’s interesting is the confirmation of 48 ROPs. That’s quite an upgrade over previous mid-range solutions from NVIDIA (it used to be around 32 ROPs). |
I really doubt anyone (that aren't clueless) will use 1060s for bitcoin mining. You can buy an ASIC that gives you 20 times the bitcoin hashrate for 50 bucks.

GPU-bitcoin mining is history. And that thing above is just a tiny widget that isn't really intended for dedicated bitcoin miners. For those, you they buy something like this:

Sure, it costs 8 times the price of a 1060, but it is literally 48 THOUSAND times faster at bitcoin mining.
So yeah, I wouldn't worry about 1060s being bought up by bitcoin miners. GPUs suck for bitcoin mining.
