looking for affrodable GPU

[powermi]

Hello, I'm new using Hashcat and my setup has an old 560ti that gives arround 24000 H/s. And I'm thinking in getting another GPU that could give more H/s, as Im still trying dont wanna spend to much, and around 100€ would be mi limit.
would be a 7970 a good purchase? I could buy it for around 50, and also have the chance of getting a 6990 for 70.
or is just better to buy something newer?

thanks.

Buy something newer and buy an nvidia card. If you're on a budget a used 750TI or 960 might be ok.

Thanks for the reply, based on some GPU Hash benchmarks i see that 7970 provides more H/s than the Nvidia (750ti only 60000) cards that you suggest, could you give me a reason for going for Nvidia instead Radeon?

cheers.

I don't think AMD 7xxx cards still have opencl support, hence won't work with hashcat. Besides. AMD cards quickly overheat/heat throttle and need much more power.

I've managed to assemble and run Hashcat 5.1.0 with Windows 10 and 7x AMD Radeon HD 7970 / AMD Radeon R9 280x (generally the same cards) last month.

But yeah, they are kinda hot and power hungry so you might be better off with some Nvidia card.

Thanks, I've been researching in the forum and I could buy for the same price (60 EUR) a 750ti, a 960 or a 1050. Any suggestion to take the better along those three? 1080 are more than 600 EUR in Spain, the idea is okay around with something cheaper and then in a while but something better off the prices go down.

750TI is definitely the slowest of the three. Not sure about 960 vs 1050.

Have also the chance of a 1060 3gb for just a little more, would it be a good candidate? I didn't found real world H/S for the 1060.

I think the 1060 is definitely your best bet. Here is a benchmark of my GTX 1060 6GB (Driver is currently not uptodate, but it should give you a good idea) :

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.

Note that the 6GB variant does also have slightly more streaming processors than the 3GB, so the performance will be a bit less.

Thanks a lot, I'll get a 1060 3GB as is a good piece to pay around and learn.
