A few questions arose.
... what on earth are reference design cards, how do i identify them ?
... i assumed buying a motherboard + videocard from the same vendor would be most optimal ?
I'm aware the chipset is what makes a GPU tick. What made me drop the initial post was i saw mention of AMD R9 290X but there was no mention of the amount of RAM installed, if the system and/or card had been overclocked etc.
Right now the benchmark content is littered across the forums i pressume ? Or is there like a central repository which may provide an interface for comparison.
... in addition, given the use of AVX, SSE and other CPU extensions and for example the i7-5820K offering a huge amount of L3 cache, would there be any decent performance to obtain for hash cracking ?
Thanks
