Hash Benchmark Much Slower Than Expected

[bpna]

Hi,

I am a newbie here, so please bear with me. After previewing this post I see the substitution for my Linux distribution and it made me chuckle. Any and all advice from people who know is awesome.

I recently got a GTX1060 and set up The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) Linux, then followed the instructions on here to get my drivers set up. If it's important, I am also dual-booting from a previous Windows install, followed these directions to get that set up.

When I run

Code:

hashcat -b

I get the following:

Code:

hashcat (pull/1273/head) starting in benchmark mode...

* Device #2: Not a native Intel OpenCL runtime. Expect massive speed loss.
            You can use --force to override, but do not report related errors.
OpenCL Platform #1: NVIDIA Corporation
======================================
* Device #1: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 1518/6072 MB allocatable, 10MCU

OpenCL Platform #2: The pocl project
====================================
* Device #2: pthread-Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz, skipped.

This differs significantly from what I found on this Hashcat Forum post, and I'm wondering if I've set something up wrong.

The command

Code:

clinfo | grep -i "icd loader"

shows the exact same loaders as the The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali)) NVIDIA Drivers Guide that I referenced above.

The command

Code:

nvidia-smi -i 0 -q

shows the attached GPU and clock speeds.

Any other output I can get to be more helpful? Thanks for any and all help. Excited to crack some hashes
