Thread: FPGA cards?
Post: RE: FPGA cards?
| Royce nailed it. Hashcat theoretically supports any device on any OpenCL platform -- but only theoretically. In reality, only CPUs and GPUs are actually supported. OpenCL on FPGA is still in its infan... |

Thread: AMD HD 6990 GPU and Amdgpu-pro driver
Post: RE: AMD HD 6990 GPU and Amdgpu-pro driver
| You switched from Nvidia to AMD? That's a bit backwards. AMD dropped support for TeraScale GPUs so you'll need to use an old fglrx driver (15.09 or 15.12 should work) along with an older distribution ... |

Thread: UPS/surge protector

Thread: 1080 TI - new best bang for buck?
Post: RE: 1080 TI - new best bang for buck?
| R9 Fury X was never the best.
GTX 1080 Ti and GTX Titan XP should have clock-for-clock identical performance. But it won't have the best bang for the buck. If we look at MD5 perf per dollar:

However, if you're simply looki... |

You're correct: you should take the total build cost into consideration. There's a reason we do not offer the GTX 1070 in the Brutalis in a clustered configuration, it throws t... |

Thread: Ryzen OpenCL benchmarks?
Post: RE: Ryzen OpenCL benchmarks?
| AMD dropped XOP from their ISA and failed to add 256bit registers, so Ryzen will be seriously shitty for password cracking. Much slower than Intel CPUs with AVX2. |

Thread: Quad 1080Ti Setup
Post: RE: Quad 1080Ti Setup
| 1200W PSU will not be sufficient. There's no reason to skimp on the PSU, go with 1600W 80plus Platinum or Titanium.
I would go with 64GB DDR4 for that build, but you'll probably be fine with 32GB. |
