Benchmarks for hashcat v4.00 on AMD and NVIDIA cards

[Chick3nman]

So, according to atom's relevant reply - benchmarks leveraging hashcat v4.00 - it is true.

VEGA 64 Air is A LOT FASTER than GTX 1080.

Waiting for the VEGA 64 Liquid results vs 1080 Ti

I wouldn't call it a "lot" faster than a 1080, in most of the common algorithms it's only a difference of a few percent, but there are definitely some algorithms where VEGA shines. Of course, all of this is trumped by the fact that the VEGA is using roughly 2x as much power as the 1080(180w vs 350w). In performance per WATT comparison, it's not even close. Also, the liquid VEGA cards will not be much faster than the air cooled since they will still be saturated by the heat under full load. The 1080Ti will also still beat the VEGA64 in most, if not all algorithms. And all of this is moot anyways because Pascal is already out of production. Volta pretty handily creams Pascal judging from the V100 benchmarks.
