Thread: Yet another "Which Card" newbie question
Post: RE: Yet another "Which Card" newbie question
| Also note that upcoming 1.38 release of hashcat has *significantly* better descrypt and LM performance, if those are of interest to you. |

Thread: Dell P2600 any use?

Thread: Burned out 12 V wires from PSU

Thread: 2x Nvidia for opencl - SLI link necessary?
Post: RE: 2x Nvidia for opencl - SLI link necessary?
| Not necessary - in fact, definitely do not use SLI with hashcat.

Thread: Best bang for buck card(s)?

Thread: Best bang for buck card(s)?
Post: RE: Best bang for buck card(s)?
| The numbers that I posted, plus the Google doc, should let you compare R9 290X with 970 SC. I prefer NVIDIA over AMD, even with a slightly lower speed, but YMMV. :) |

| For future searchers, note that SLI is not necessary for hashcat - and adds overhead that actually impacts performance. Instead, allow hashcat to handle the multiple GPUs directly.
