New need some help with setup

[dTardis]

I have a RTX 4070TI. I'm running on Mint Linux/Ubuntu.
I'm working on cracking a keepass db that I created for testing. It looks like I'm not using Cuda, but I think I have it installed.

When I do a hashcat -I I get this the below and my hash rate seems very slow compared to some others I have seen. I can verify that the GPU is being used at almost 100%.
I appreciate any help that can be offered.

Code:

Nothing is wrong, it's just that your KeePass hash has a lot more iterations than what the benchmark uses. Your hash is using 600000 iterations, while the benchmark is using 24569, it happens. As for the CUDA thing, it looks like you are using your CUDA interface, not the OpenCL one

Great, Thank you. I just wasn't sure if it was using OpenCL or Cuda. I appreciate your help.

When you start hashcat it will identify which device #'s it is using, otherwise it will list them as being skipped. So typically with a GPU you will see 2 separate devices as one will be for the CUDA driver and the other will be for the OpenCL driver. Hashcat will automatically choose CUDA over OpenCL if it is available. Happy hashing!
