Code:
hashcat (v3.20) starting in benchmark mode...
* Device #2: Old CUDA chipset 3.0 detected, OpenCL performance is reduced.
For ideal hashcat performance on NVIDIA GPU you need Shader Model 5.0 or higher
nvmlDeviceGetFanSpeed(): Not Supported
OpenCL Platform #2: NVIDIA Corporation
======================================
* Device #2: GRID K520, 1009/4036 MB allocatable, 8MCU
I'm getting this message when I run the benchmark. Does this error have to do with the GPU itself (meaning I would have to change to a new physical GPU), with a driver, or something else? The driver version is 367.57.
Thanks.

Yes, this GPU has very bad performance when it comes to crypto

Well, that is unfortunate. Thanks for the info. Do you know of any other GPU instance on AWS that has good (or better) performance?

Nope, there's no good AWS GPU. AWS GPU's are good for floating point operations (flops), not raw integer power. In crypto, we need raw integer power.

Ok, thanks for the info.
