What means "1024/4096 MB allocatable" - Mem5 - 06-30-2016
hashcat v3.00, wordlist attack :
Quote:OpenCL Platform #1: NVIDIA Corporation
======================================
- Device #1: GeForce GTX 980, 1024/4096 MB allocatable, 16MCU
Why only 1014 ?
Does it affect hashcat performance ? copy wordlist/hashlist to GPU memory for eg. ?

OpenCL has a bit a strange policy on memory allocation:
Quote:Max size of memory object allocation in bytes. The minimum value is max (1/4th of CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE, 128*1024*1024)
There's no impact on performance, except for scrypt, but I've worked around the problem on there
