    Thread: new upcoming GTX cards
Post: RE: new upcoming GTX cards

Guessing wildly based on the specs, I would expect it to be a bit slower than a 1080 - and the list price is about what used 1080 FEs are going for, so it may be a bit of a wash. A full benchmark w...

Post: RE: Recommend hardware

Interesting - I'd totally missed the 1070 Ti as even being an upcoming thing! Eyeballing the specs and the list price, a used 1080 FE would probably still be a better deal?

Post: RE: Quad 1080 ti Build | Need Hardware Advice

x16 throughput is not important for most hashcat attacks. x4 is the minimum from my testing, for both hashcat and john. Having some RAM and CPU to feed the GPUs for some attacks is a good call. Dit...

Post: RE: HD7970 really slow?

Hmm, interesting. I wouldn't expect you to have to downgrade drivers - latest stable should be fine. Is it possible that something else is keeping your GPU busy?

I'd recommend something other than K a l i for the main OS. It doesn't play well with OpenCL and hashcat sometimes.

For computational power (adjusting for any overclocking done by other manufacturers), performance should be identical. For quality of other components, and cooling design, brands will vary - except...

Post: RE: Mining Rig for hashcat

I'd also run a benchmark (hashcat -b -m 0) to quickly determine if it's a setup problem vs an attack methodology problem. If your driver/etc are set up correctly, a benchmark should peg all available ...

Post: RE: R9 270x/GTX960

Hashes per second per dollar is indeed the way to think about it - and if electricity price matters, H/s/watt. For your use case, non-FE would probably be OK. If you can swing a 970, that might be...

Post: RE: What does this tip mean when you break it?

It means that every hash that you are trying to crack was already previously cracked, and the results of that crack are in the potfile.

Yes, there are ways to do this with PCI-E extenders and an open case. But the choice of extenders can be tricky - powered vs unpowered, and general manufacturing quality can be poor. You can research ...

(Well, it's not *strictly* a 100% requirement for some attacks - but definitely required for others). You should try to get as close to that as possible, though.

Our own hardware forum is pretty reputable ;) - search there for PCI-E, extenders, etc. and you should get some good leads.
