Hashcat benchmark data — updated 2026
Hashcat hashrate depends entirely on the GPU running it, so the same MD5 or bcrypt job can take minutes on one card and hours on another. The table below lists every GPU we've benchmarked with Hashcat, the rig it was measured on, and a link to the full benchmark output for that card — MD5, NTLM, SHA-256, bcrypt, WPA and dozens more hash modes.

Reading a multi-GPU rig benchmark
Several rows above come from rigs with 4, 8 or even 16 cards, matching how Online Hash Crack's own cracking cloud is built. That total isn't what a single desktop card would produce — divide roughly by the card count in the "Rig tested" column to get a per-GPU estimate.
Frequently asked
What does a Hashcat benchmark actually measure?
It measures how many guesses per second (the hashrate) a GPU can compute for one hashing algorithm, such as MD5, NTLM or bcrypt. A higher hashrate means a password audit or recovery job against that algorithm finishes faster on that hardware.Why do some benchmarks list 8 or even 16 GPUs?
Those figures come from production cracking nodes, not a single desktop card. Online Hash Crack scales jobs across multi-GPU rigs, so the numbers reflect a full worker rather than one consumer graphics card.Which GPU should I pick for password recovery in 2026?
For most audits, an RTX 4090 or RTX 5090 gives the best price-to-performance on consumer hardware. Data-center cards like the H100 or A100 only pay off at rig scale, which is what our cloud runs on — see our pricing page for ready-to-use capacity.Credits
