Quote:I have the Alienware 18 which is supposed to have the best GPU but apparently the alienware's CPU is going as fast if not faster that the GPU !Two things :
Some algos like bcrypt will run faster on a good cpu.
Mobile gpu are obviously slower than their "desktop" counterparts.
Quote:I read online one of the recommendations for a penetration tester would be to buy a gaming laptop like an Alieware and buy a mobile radeon with it!Did you read that on Alienware forum itself or something ?
Quote:Are mobile radeon's better than built in nvidia GPUs?See first answer.
Im not sure why you got so iffended but here is one of the resources:

Kindly dont bother reading if this is giving you cancer and you think its bullshit!! My CPU is faster even with cracking MD5 hashes than my NVidia.
I looked at some numbers online and the comparison between nvidia and radeon is something like radeon in 10 times faster in cracking hashes. as this forum is about hashcat im obviously referring to the graphic card being bad at hash cracking not bad in general
