Possible bug - Utilization reporting when specifying devices
#1
Greetings all! My rig has 3 graphics cards in it and due to cooling issues, I changed 2 of them to have hybrid cooling. So I start rerunning some cracking tests specifying to use only those two cards and not the one with stock cooler. 

I noticed when I specify devices, the utilization shows as 100% on one but 0% on the other. Below is a censored version of the command I used followed by Hashcat output. Is this a bug or is it expected behavior and I am maybe missing something? 

Also - i noted my cracking performance is about 1/3 that of when running the benchmark. Is this an example of when I need to generate work? I thought it would not be the case as I am doing pure bruteforce and the need to generate work comes with performance loss when waiting on the wordlist to copy across the pci-x bus. If I am incorrect, happy to be pointed in the right direction. Smile 

Code:
hashcat64.bin -m 100 -w 3 -d 1,2 --remove hashes5.txt -o cracked.txt -a 3 ?a?a?a?a?a?a
