What about R9 Nano? Benchmarks?

There's no official release date for Pascal. Everything that is out there is all rumors and speculation. And "a lot faster" at pushing pixels rarely translates into faster for password cracking -- we will have to wait and see actual specs to see just how much faster Pascal might be for hashcat (I'm not doubting Pascal will be faster, but historically it's rare to see more than 25-35% performance increase between iterations.)
