Thank you for your prompt and detailed reply.
Well, Crimson drivers have indeed dropped support of legacy ATI/ AMD cards regarding OpenCL, but you could always use the good old Catalyst drivers that still support OpenCL on those.
Regarding Nvidia, the situation is like the new hashcat is "pushing" users to change their pre-Maxwell HW.
I hope they go to AMD though, for many many reasons.
I'm waiting for RX 470 in custom version (probably from Sapphire) that could be ~5-6 times faster than 5750, especially if it's a little factory overclocked.
I mean, it's almost unbelievable that you can buy 5 TFLOPS (and the integer speed for hashcat) with 150$ (!)
Best VFM for sure.
