Thanks for that deep insight. Your argument with the 300W-throttle-limit is very compelling.
I ment the 390x will be a game changer in general for the GPU market, not explicitly for hashcat. It will set a benchmark and if Nvidia has to correct the price of the Titan X/980Ti to be competitive, they have to adjust prices on the 980/970 range too. So even if the 390x is not the ideal solution for hashcat it might make more attractive GPUs much cheaper. I hope my crytal ball is not broken there, but who knows.
