Unless you are running into some hashcat limitations (eg because you're using a very small wordlist with lots of rules) you should avoid piping if possible, especially on more powerful rigs. Straight wordlist attacks will almost always be CPU/bandwidth limited unless you are attacking a very slow hash.
ok yeah now it makes lot of sense. Thanks.
Playing a bit further I realized that using a straight wordlist I can get 5gpus at 100% and just one randomly going down at about 80%. At this point I guess I need to use masks even if they will generate a "dirty" list or create my dictionary.
