I've compared all modes, straight wordlist, derivation rules, etc. At factory clocks A6000 is a bit slower than 3090. With non-aggressive overclocking, so they run stable and stay cool, they give pretty much the same performance, some algorithms are faster, some are slower, but the variation is tiny. A notable exception, some pure kernels when used with wordlist + derivation rules, are about 10% slower on the A6K. Optimized kernels are not affected, so it could be the UTF8 conversion with slower VRAM.... or not.
I only compared with the now extinct 3090 blower version, I don't buy the flashy, fat, led covered trash
Said trash might actually be run faster though.
And yes, the large VRAM would help, but this asks for specific dev ... and there are not many GPUs out there that could leverage this for now.
