Is a $30,000 GPU Good at Password Cracking?

This Specops-sponsored report benchmarks two AI accelerators (Nvidia H200, AMD MI300X) against a consumer GPU (RTX 5090) using Hashcat across common hash algorithms (MD5, NTLM, bcrypt, SHA-256, SHA-512), finds the RTX 5090 consistently outperforms the AI hardware for password cracking, and emphasizes that strong, long passwords, breached-password scanning, and MFA remain the most effective defenses while promoting Specops products.
