The only time this is not true is if using an external generator and piping into oclHashcat, in which case you need to add amplifier. Otherwise all of the candidates will be provided through the base loop and there will be no mod loop to generate candidates on the device, so you will not get any acceleration.
Solves my riddle, thanks! Your post here was helpful. Looks like I need to do more research. Is there a better place than the github repo to start learning hashcat's pipeline for various algorithms?
