hashcat Forum

Hello all, I have a mining RIG and I would like to know if I need a good CPU to use the full power of all my GPUs on hashcat?

CPU is less important for cracking hashes using GPU power.

Less important, maybe, not to be neglected though,

Quote:Generally speaking, your CPU needs to have N + 2 threads available for GPU cracking, where N is the number of GPUs in your rig.
