Sorry if I'm asking something know, i've some doubts about the performance of my 7970.
I use ubuntu linux, a dual core xeon, 8 gigabyte of ram and 3 7970.
What I see is performance for all my three 7970 being 15/20% (on DES even more) slower than what is shown in web site main page performance table.
This happen for both hashcat-lite and hashcat-plus.
What i'd like to ask is:
1) does operating system matter? windows driver are better than linux ones?
2) does ram and CPU matter? maybe for password candidate generation and I/O thru the GPUs?
3) are the reference values (in hashcat main page) calculated with the benchmark option? if so, can those values be different from real life cracking?
4) which is the reason behind multi-hash speed decreasing so hard when the hash list grows?
I'd greatly appreciate if some one would answer point by point.

Raist
