Can Hashcat Effectively Use a 4090 on a PCIe x1 2.0 Slot?
#3
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

I had a follow-up question regarding benchmarks. I came across a site claiming that the 2080 Ti outperforms the 4090 when cracking SHA1, and even surpasses the 5090 in MD5 performance. That doesn’t sound right to me, please correct me if I’m mistaken:

Is there any scenario where certain hash algorithms perform better on older or specific GPUs? Or are the 4090 and 5090 truly unmatched across the board? What about hash rate per watt?
