Doesn't work AMD / Nvidia Latest Hashcat - owen_a - 07-07-2013

Hi,

So I've been at this for three days. I tried my AMD Radeon HD 4600 in Ubuntu 12.04 and failed, then I tried my Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS, failed again. I then moved to Windows Server 2008 since Hashcat works perfectly on my Windows 7 main computer with my AMD Radeon HD 6850. I tried the AMD Radeon HD 4600 in Windows Server 2008 (i'm using Remote Desktop to access the server) and no luck. It actually says some lines before quitting with the error "clBuildProgram() -11". I was running the LATEST AMD Catalyst (13.1) as stated on quite a few forum threads. I also went to Catalyst version 12.8 but that just failed even more. I gave up and replaced it with my Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS. This DEFINITELY beat the requirement driver version 310 as stated on the downloads page on hashcat, so this should of worked... Not even close. I installed the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS Driver version "320.49-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe" which is the very latest, and restarted, still, nothing. The same error I get with this card is "Error: No NVidia compatible platform found" - which clearly makes you think, wtf?

Currently I am downloading "cuda_5.0.35_winvista_win7_win8_general_64-3.msi" to see if this works, if not, i'll update this post. I'm completely out of ideas and would appreciate any of your help.

- Owen.

EDIT: Installing "cuda_5.0.35_winvista_win7_win8_general_64-3.msi" did nothing. Back to the drawing board. I had more luck with the AMD 4600 so I'm going to switch back to that.

Radeon HD 4000 series will not work with Hashcat. It is not a compute card, and AMD no longer supports OpenCL on this generation. You need an HD 5000 series or newer for Hashcat.

There is no Catalyst 13.1 for the HD 4000 series; only Catalyst 13.1 LEGACY, which is actually 12.6.

It probably is not worth your time to mess around with this GPU, as your CPU is likely faster.

Remote desktop is your problem here, I think. Remote desktop uses its own vga stack, and does not use your graphics card. Also I'm not sure the Win7/Win8 drivers will work on Win2k8
