If I brute by mask, for example
Speed.GPU.#1...: 85396 H/s
But when I brute by dictionary, the speed is only about 65000 H/s. Why? Can it be because of bitlocker turned on?

I've read this. The benchmark shows the same speed as the brute by mask. But brute by dictionary is slower... I can't understand why...

did you use -w 3?

Yes, with -w 3 the speed is higher (79000 H/s, without -w 3 65000H/s), but not 85000-86000 when I use -a3 (mask).

sounds good for me
