Thank you for answer.

Yes, I did a mistake with command in Test #2

If there are other errors then could you explain what is wrong?

Rig with 4 x 2080 Ti is rented GPU cloud solution - thank you for info about RAM > VRAM.

Lets start again.

Same files has been used in both tests:
ntlm-50m.txt - 50 milion ntlm hashes
250.rule - file with 250 rules
words.txt - file with passwords
