Hash Benchmark Much Slower Than Expected

[bpna]

I just wanted to update - I wiped The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) and installed Ubuntu 16.04 and after getting NVIDIA drivers installed (and a brief period where I booted to a black screen and was able to get a TTY session after modifying a bootloader config file)...

I am getting the KICKASS SPEEDS my GTX 1060 is capable of!!!

hashcat (4.0.0-rc6) starting in benchmark mode...

Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.
