Do I need a good CPU? - munroc - 11-05-2021
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?
RE: Do I need a good CPU? - ctrl - 11-05-2021
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.
