Hi there,
I'm considering building a cracking rig and I'm not sure of the importance of the CPU in a multi GPU cracking rig.
Are there any recommendations on CPU choice when all the hard work is done by multiple GPUs ? Should I buy an expensive one (i9, xeons) ?
What is the work that the CPU typically has to do when cracking hashes with GPU (precomputations, hashtables calculations of some sort) ?
For example, if I buy one ore several 3080 or 3090, will my cracking station will be limited by the CPU at some time if it is not enough powerfull ?
Thanks by advance !
