Low GPU Usage on Brute Force - wadewilson - 10-30-2022
Hey everyone,
I'm somewhat new to this so apologies if this question is somehow dumb. I've googled around and found no answer, hence posting here.
I'm running a brute force attack on an 8 digit password - ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a - using 22000 on a GeForce 1070. I've installed the Cuda toolkit.
I'm getting an ETA of >10 years. However, my GPU is working at 1-3% according to Windows Task Manager.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure but it could be this;
You are hashing at full rate but your task manager is on “3D” or some other mode, set it to “Cuda” and it should show up.

Hey,
Yeah, I finally found a post of someone explaining that the Task Manager is not to be trusted and to use OpenHardwareMonitor. Everything checks out.
Thanks!
