afaik the nvidia drivers have some weird behaviour where they map all the vram used by hashcat to your system ram.
btw, the true power draw test is probably running -m1000 -a3 ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a -w4 -O
So come to find out that due to the limitations of the motherboard I'm using, I can only put in up to 8gb of ram in this rig. Obviously the board is designed for crypto mining not hashcat, so that limitation would be fine. Before I ditch this board, would adding a 56gb swapfile help this situation or does it have to be actual RAM? I could try it but, away from home at the moment.
