Thoughts on RTX 5090

Hi guyz, 

As you all know, Nvidia is going to announce RTX 5090 in the coming weeks. 
What are your thoughts on hashcat performance on the new flagship ? 

As RTX 3090 to RTX 4090 was like a bit more twice more performant (on classic hashes) can we expect the RTX 5090 to be like twice more performant as an RTX 4090 ?

All 5090 specs are only rumours at this point, there's nothing confirmed as of yet

I highly doubt its 2X.
17% more shaders (cores) and about 33% more memory with better memory speed

So what to expect? For most hashes cores are limiting, so expect 25%-33% improvement, for memory hard hashing algorithms expect the most improvement. One extra benefit is that with the extra memory, larger rule sets such as when you combine rules, will less easily result in out of memory errors, something I still frequently run into.
