building 2 gaming / cracking rigs... SLI or no SLI...

Recommended Posts

so, i talked my wife into letting me spend a bunch of money on building 2 gaming machines for our 2 sons ?

i plan to setup a gaming room. but also these machines will be used for hashcat cracking ?

the gpu i believe is estimated on the hashcat site at around 120,000 hash/s... at a cast of about $170 each...

i already have 2 gaming rigs, somewhat out of date but still excellent performers.

including my old machines, i estimate ill get around 300,000 hash/s with current shopping-list...

maybe ill sneak into the budget a new Gpu for my own Desktop rig...

 

comments suggestions, tips on hashcat gpu's... suggestions on bang for the buck...

i might revise the shopping-cart and lower the cost of cpu/motherboard/ram and free up more cash for a better performer Gpu.

maybe ill budget $100 on cpu...$40 on ram...$60 on motherboard... this could free up quit a bit for a higher end gpu.

i could bump up the budget per PC/gpu from $168 to $275

 

i could go side by side SLI configuration with a budget per card of $140 x 4 or so...

Sli or no Sli?

 

Shit i could even build one monster machine and make it a multi monitor Virtual gaming machine.

 

my amazon shopping cart sits right here...

Evga Gtx 1070 ti sc ($370)

 

I see online hashcat wpa/wpa2 almost 300,000 hash/s

I made up my mind... I'm getting 2 of these for sure, maybe 3...

 

I have this budget build at $630 x 2

I'm confident they will perform like top of the line rigs.

 

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) 08G-P4-5173-KR

Anymore updates on this? I'm curious ?

I haven't done any indepth reseach into this but I think the SLI technology is only really applicable to gaming. Hashcat doesn't care if you run different cards by different manufacturers as long as the motherboard has the slots for it so don't throw out your old cards (unless they're not supported by hashcat) ?

I experimented with something similar for hashcat purposes and then for crypto mining when that was the cool thing to do. I have x2 1080s, a 960, and a Radeon RX 580. The Radeon was great for mining monero but half the speed of the 1080 for cracking wpa2. I found that running hashcat on ubuntu server to be optimum for hashing speeds despite some saying windows has better driver support.

At 600K h/s you will be able to crack most default WPA2 passwords out there. The 10 random hex passes will still be a challenge - it will take you roughly 21.2 days to exhaust the whole keyspace. Technically speaking you will have a greater than 50% chance of cracking it after only 10.6 days and you can decrease that further with some rules etc. Complex passwords and anything greater than 8 random chars (alpha-numeric) you can forget about.

I don't know if it's worth building your own cracking rig with anything more than 2 or 3 cards unless you're going to do complex passes on a regular basis. I think most people these days just hire out Amazon AWS servers if they need something serious cracked. I haven't tried it yet but I might check it out.

There's a reason why 1070/1070 Ti's were ridiculously sought after during the crypto-currency time, and that was because people were filling server-racks with them because they were the cheapest and best for the buck. Next was 1080 Ti but that was a jump of just over twice the price.

I myself have a 1080 Ti in my own rig. Before that it was a 1050 Ti which has a pretty poor hash-per-second rating for its power consumption so don't bother with one of those.

I would probably downgrade the RAM to 2400 MHz. Save you a fair few dollars and you won't notice the difference performance-wise.

Can't say I approve of all the AMD base-hardware (Mobo/CPU) but I haven't used it for yonkers so I can only hope it's better than it once was. I'm all-out Intel, although to be fair it's more expensive. More like the Apple of PC hardware, while AMD is more like Android.
