Thread: Budget Machine for oclHashcat (noob)
Post: RE: Budget Machine for oclHashcat (noob)
| 1. CPU doesn't matter if you're doing pure *hashcat. If you want to do JtR as well, you might want some CPU.
2. Ignore Radeon. Go NVIDIA. Best bang for buck right now is the GTX 970. For best res... |

Thread: Opinions on this rig?
Post: RE: Opinions on this rig?

epixoip says that the one-fan cards are superior, so that's good.

Thread: Opinions on this rig?

| It's certainly a solid all-around platform, but it may be more than you need depending on your goals. Are you just looking to do GPU hashcat (oclhashcat), or other things as well?

| Also note that upcoming 1.38 release of hashcat has *significantly* better descrypt and LM performance, if those are of interest to you. |

Thread: Burned out 12 V wires from PSU

Post: RE: 2x Nvidia for opencl - SLI link necessary?

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.
