I'm currently trying to get hashcat to run on Windows 10, with 2 Titan X GPU's.

I installed the latest CUDA and NVIDIA drivers, but when I installed the CUDA drivers hashcat stopped working completely and errors with:

cuCtxCreate(): unknown error

I tried using an older version of the CUDA drivers, and it still errors.

Any ideas?

try this: https://hashcat.net/faq/wrongdriver

which version of hashcat do you use ? does it work with --backend-ignore-cuda or without CUDA installed ?

It works when I run with that flag, or uninstall CUDA. Is CUDA required for better performance? Any ideas why it won't run with CUDA?
