Windows/6900xt Slow cracking speeds?
#1
I've been playing around with my kids 6900xt and hashcat to see what kind of performance I can get out of it. Benchmarking gives similar results as to what are posted on this forum. Specifically looking at NTLM, the benchmark shows about 95000Mh/s. However, when I am actually cracking passwords, I get less than 3000Mh/s. What gives? I'm currently running it with a wordlist and ruleset, which I assume will slow it down some, but I didn't expect that much!

I'm running Hashcat 6.2.5 (with the OpenCL API) and have the latest AMD drivers installed for the 6900xt. Should I revert to older versions?

I also have my personal computer that runs an AMD 5600xt and an RTX 3050 with the latest drivers and Hashcat version and BOTH cards individual get better performance than the 6900xt.

I also apologize if this has been brought up before....I tried to search for a similar thread but didn't find one.
