Great work pureh@te,
Regretting I sent for an ATI 4870 card now my new system.

Seems as though the GTX 295 hits 8628.76 PMKs/s and the HD 4870 9650 PMKs/s (10000 OC'ed!) only going by other peoples results from the above URL's.
GPUs have always interested me in this field and I'm about to buy a quad core and high end GPU system, maybe we could get together a thread with speeds we are hitting with our GPUs?

Pyrit on Ati works in BT3. Install Ati driver: hxxp://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/previous/linux-rf-cat812.html. Download it: hxxp://uloz.to/1270984/amd_brook.rar. Unrar and install two files with installpkg. Open /etc/ld.so.conf and add line "/usr/local/amdbrook/sdk/lib". Compile Pyrit with command: ./setup.py HAVE_STREAM build and ./setup.py install. Sorry my very bad english.
Great tutorial.It works better than expected.Thank you(both)
crappy or bad install
Hey dont know if this is an issue, only thing throwing me off is the HUGE diference between 8800 gt score and mine 8600M gs.
your thoughts. Bad installation or got scammed on the video cardCode:root@bt:/pentest/password/pyrit# python pyrit.py benchmark The Pyrit commandline-client (C) 2008 Lukas Lueg This code is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3 The ESSID-blobspace seems to be empty; you should create an ESSID... Available cores: 'Standard CPU', 'Nvidia CUDA' Testing CPU-only core 'Standard CPU' (2 CPUs)... 358.41 PMKs/s Testing GPU core 'Nvidia CUDA' (Device 'GeForce 8600M GS')... 654.62 PMKs/s
Well thats for sure a bad number. It is a mobile card though so it may not preform that well. I would guess some of your cores in your card may be bad or some thing along those lnes.
Well, this card is actually under-clocked, under windows I have it OCed to a stable point. Nvidia website indicates the clock to be at 600/1200/480, and mine is at 500/1000/400. been searching a little bit on how to OC under linux haven't found something concrete, yet, I haven't obsessed over it yet but I guess ill start
That reminds me....
How to overclock your nvidia card in Linux......
run this commnad: apt-get install nvidia-settings
That will install the nvidia-settings interface. Now in order to overclock you have to enable it like this:
(make sure to do it for each card if you have more than 1)
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and find the section that looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 8800 GT"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Screen 1
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "Coolbits" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
EndSection
Add the coolbits option and then restart X and open nvidia-settings and you should have a overclock option like this:
Thats it, Switch it around however you want.
Alternatively you can also use the command line tool nvclock: apt-get install nvclock
Code:r00t@pwnsauce ~ $ nvclock NVClock v0.7 Using NVClock you can overclock your Nvidia videocard under Linux and FreeBSD. Use this program at your own risk, because it can damage your system! Usage: ./NVClock [options] Overclock options: -c --card number Number of the card to overclock -m --memclk speed Memory speed in MHz -n --nvclk speed Core speed in MHz -r --reset Restore the original speeds Other options: -d --debug Enable/Disable debug info -f --force Force a speed, NVClock won't check min/max speeds -h --help Show this help info -i --info Print detailed card info -s --speeds Print current speeds in MHz
Thx Purehate, found nvclock, but having a little bit of issues installing the GTK version, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0... checking for x11... configure: error: "X11 required for nvcontrol support" this shows up after ./configure.
but Im gonna stick with your first suggestion for now
Its the CUDA_INSTALL.. It should be --force... instead of just one dash. This fixed it for me.
