6950 weaker than 5870
#1
Hi there. Im reading this forum for like 2 years but just decided to register (since i was not able to figure out 16chars pass Big Grin Big Grin) and i've some questions to ask.

Q1: I've noticed something strange and want your opinion.

NTLM 5870 cracking at ~9700 on 875/1250
6950 though cracking like 9300 !

6950 is quite better in mining performance going like 480 MH/s on scrypt and 5870 420MH/s.

Should i consider 5870 as a better choice for cracking and 6950 for mining?

Im using 14.9 Catalyst with 1.33 oclHashcat.

Q2: What hashcat should i use for the best ati drivers 11.11 for those cards and will it be a better performance on older drivers with the older hashcat?

Q3: Why the restore is no longer working on the newest hashcat? No restore file is created and every time should start from beginning.

Q4; Which distributed solution is better the old VLC Clustering or the current agent-based distribution (made by a forum guy). I Have 1 rig with 6950 and 1 with 5870.

Regards.
