Radeon HD8970m - spider-x - 06-29-2013
Is AMD Radeon HD8970m good for cracking wpa2 password? Or is there better notebook GPU for cracking passwords?
RE: Radeon HD8970m - Kuci - 06-29-2013
No, this is the best.

mobile chipsets always suck.
RE: Radeon HD8970m - epixoip - 07-01-2013
yeah, Kuci's "this is the best" comment is a bit misleading. 8970M is about as good as mobile chipsets get, but it will still leave a lot to be desired.
RE: Radeon HD8970m - Kuci - 07-01-2013
I thought "this is the best you can get". He was asking about notebook GPU...
RE: Radeon HD8970m - epixoip - 07-01-2013
i don't pay much attention to mobile chipsets so i'm not sure if it is the best or not. however, it's a good idea to clarify that performance is going to suck regardless of whether it's the best or not.
8970M is essentially an underclocked 8870, meaning it will have ~ 40% the performance of a 7970. this, combined with the thermal capabilities of the notebook, will make you want to kill yourself.
