You're probably better off just running a benchmark for your specific setup, or using tools like https://whattomine.com/

Does OpenCL work with your card? What OS, and what version of AMD drivers? What is the output of hashcat -I? Edit: it looks like that card has been "no more driver improvements" since 2015? ...

According to the main hashcat webpage, this driver version is required: AMD GPUs on Windows require "AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition" (15.12 or later)

So you know the base word, and you need to append some a special and two numbers? -r ./rules/hybrid/append_s.rule -r ./rules/hybrid/append_d.rule -r -r ./rules/hybrid/append_d.rule

Because masks are executed on GPU, it's probably much faster to just run it as a hybrid (-a 6) or mask attack.

Post: RE: Best GPU

Neither. :) Go NVIDIA, 10xx series (1070, 1080, 1080Ti). If you get Founder's Edition (recommended), the vendor doesn't matter, because they all follow the same NVIDIA spec.

Just throwing some ideas out there: If cost of electricity is not a concern, agreed about 970s. They're going on eBay for around $200-$220, so 3 of those would be a good fit. (And I wouldn't go old...

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. https://hashcat....

I haven't worked with this hash type before, but A) it's not pure bcrypt, and B) the portion after the colon is, I'm told, not a salt.

This all looks like you're doing it right (may want to post commandline just in case, with hash masked if you're using it on the command line).

What value is in the "cost" field of your hash? (the second $-separated field, two digits wide)? Based on the speed you're getting, I'm guessing that it's probably cost 10? If so, that speed is norma...

(Unless you also post the plaintext, please don't post hashes.) Your performance is quite normal for cost 10 on a 1080.
