What's Important in a GPU?
I need a GPU and I never had one.
So I need to understand whats important about a GPU for my uses
I basically need a new GPU because I need to bruteforce hashes and keys (key generation). (e.g. small size RSA, md5, etc).
The GPU clock speed?
The VRAM?
The memory clock?

Why would you brute force hashes and keys?
For a sort of work/project I'm doing
At the moment I'm doing this on my i7 and I can't keep going with this.
With the CPU it would take me a year, with a GPU few days or weeks
You would want a nvidia card with the most cuda cores. Basically the most expensive will be the best as it has the most cuda cores.
I havnt brute forced hashes in like 6 years but it's still going to to take a long time for anything over 10 characters.

Thank you
I saw that there are old generation GPUs that has a lot of cuda cores, would it be worth to buy a gtx 770 for 80 euros?
Gtx770 = 1,536 cuda cores. Rtx 3090 = 10,496 cuda cores
How many characters are the hashes your trying to crack. 8 or under is fine for a 770
