Older Nvida Card OpenCL - Device #1: Not enough allocatable device memory
#1
OS: Archlinux
Hashcat Version: 6.2.6

OpenCL API (OpenCL 1.2 CUDA 9.1.84) - Platform #1 [NVIDIA Corporation]
======================================================================
* Device #1: GeForce GTX 460, 832/959 MB (239 MB allocatable), 7MCU
...
* Device #1: Not enough allocatable device memory for this attack.


I understand the error and understand it is the result of the old implementation only being able to allocate 1/4 of the available memory on the GPU at one time. The problem is there is no way to force it to use the CPU either (8-core Vishera w/32G of RAM).

Why is there no command line option allowing one to limit the memory used to that allocatable from the card? It still seems like a lot of work could be done in blocks of 239M at a time.

If there is no way to reduce the allocation from the GPU, then how to have Hashcat recognize and use the CPU? -D 1 doesn't work. I've found no way to have Hashcat recognize the CPU.

Any suggestions?
