Optimizing
#1
I am now running a 1080 FE (Water cooled by evga hybrid) and a 1070 FE on my newbie box.  (sounds dirty, newbie box lol)

I have been testing performance and i think I'm running a little inadequate.

HashCat seems to agree, commenting with:


Code:
Cracking performance lower than expected?                 

* Update your OpenCL runtime / driver the right way:

* Create more work items to make use of your parallelization power:

 I should note that I ran nvidia-smi -pl [217/for 1080] [170/1070] and set both Powermizers to the MAX before running my hashcat command:

Code:
 hashcat -m 2500 -w 4 Documents/HouseE2.hccapx Documents/wordlists/realuniq.lst --potfile-disable

which yielded this snapshot:

I should be getting more than this right?

I looked at the links provided in the hashcat output and I'm not really clear what to do to resolve this..

I should probably add that i have a corsair 1000w PSU and my meter (plugged between the wall and the PSU) is reading between 320 and 380 watts draw...
