Odd behavior getting GTS 450 to run alongside GTX 960, and 750TI. - saltedsalt - 06-11-2019
Hello,
I have hashcat installed on an Ubuntu 18.04 box that has a GTX 960, GTX 750TI, and a GTS 450 in it.
I'm able to run the benchmark with each graphics card separately, as well as with the GTX 960 and 750TI together. However, when I attempt to run the benchmark with all three graphics cards simultaneously I'm getting these errors:
Code:
hashcat (v5.1.0) starting in benchmark mode...
Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.
* Device #1: WARNING! Kernel exec timeout is not disabled.
This may cause "CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES" or related errors.
To disable the timeout, see: https://hashcat.net/q/timeoutpatch
* Device #2: This hardware has outdated CUDA compute capability (2.1).
For modern OpenCL performance, upgrade to hardware that supports
CUDA compute capability version 5.0 (Maxwell) or higher.

Here's what it looks like when the GTS 450 runs by itself:

Need any further insight? The card is wildly outdated and not supported by current drivers. The fact that you got it into hashcat at all along side newer cards is surprising.

I'm not sure that I agree. Just because it's an older card doesn't mean that it's worthless.
Furthermore, it actually still is supported by the Nvidia Linux drivers. So, considering that it is:
a) recognized by the operating system
b) recognized by hashcat whilst running independently
c) still supported by Nvidia
getting it working with the other cards doesn't seem infeasible.
Thanks for your input though.

It's not supported by hashcat anymore. That's pretty much what the error message is telling you. Only hardware from Maxwell/CUDA 5.0 up is supported. The card is 10 years old and compared to the performance capabilities of the other two cards it doesn't matter if this card is "helping" cracking passwords or if you just spare it out and save the ~100W it consumes. You could consider that worthless.
