GPU not getting close to benchmark? - Skwerl23 - 01-25-2018
I have a GTX 960 and when i run benchmarks it gets around 12000 MH/s but when i actually use it with a dictionary and rules, i get around 1000 MH/s MAX am I doing something wrong? I tried the -O option.
I was using the dive.rule file and getting 1gh/s
i tried the d3ad0ne.rule and got 1.5gh/s

plain dict attack with no rules are limited by IO and are expected to slow down things for fast hashes.

I understand that. That's why I was using rules. I noticed brute Force was approaching 6gh/s. So it's getting better

try adding -w3, that's what the benchmark uses.

Benchmark uses the best-case scenario of single-hash brute force. For everything else there will be a loss of speed and there is nothing you can do about this.

I'm still getting used to this program for professional reasons. Thank you for this. W3 and w4 are necessary. W4 more than doubled my speed
