A hashcat user build himself a crazy box with 7, i repeat 7, nVidia GeForce GTX 580 in it. The box pulls about 3000w and is water cooled.

To the performance:

oclhashcat+ multihash NTLM rulebased 11,3 B/s
oclhashcat multihash MD5 hybrid 9,8 B/s

(both against 500k hashes)

oclhashcat takes about 7,5 days for the full space of -1 ?l?d?s?u ?1?1?1?1 ?1?1?1?1

Here is a pic of this sick box:

MD4 based (NTLM, DCC, ...):

1 hash: v0.34 = 9.64M/s, v0.35 = 11.06M/s = + 12.8%
2 hash: v0.34 = 6.70M/s, v0.35 = 6.84M/s = + 2.0%

MD5 based (MD5, md5crypt, phpass, ...):

1 hash: v0.34 = 7.27M/s, v0.35 = 9.05M/s = + 19.6%
2 hash: v0.34 = 5.43M/s, v0.35 = 6.04M/s = + 10.0%

SHA1 based (SHA1, MYSQL4, ...):

1 hash: v0.34 = 4.99M/s, v0.35 = 5.25M/s = + 5.0%
2 hash: v0.34 = 4.06M/s, v0.35 = 4.09M/s = + 0.8%

cheers atom!
