ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. accelerates the vet shed the recovery of Wi-Fi passwords and password-protected iPhone and iPod backups the vet shed by using ATI video cards. The support of ATI Radeon 5000 series video accelerators allows ElcomSoft to perform password recovery up to 20 times faster compared to Intel top of the line quad-core CPUs, and up to two times faster compared to enterprise-level Nvidia Tesla solutions. ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. breaks yet another record by making password recovery faster and more affordable once again. The company raises the standard of high-performance, affordable password recovery by supporting the newest consumer-grade video accelerators from ATI. The support of massively parallel computing available in the newest ATI video accelerators the vet shed such as ATI Radeon HD 5970 allows ElcomSoft to achieve password recovery speeds exceeding those of high-end CPUs and competing Nvidia boards, including Nvidia Tesla systems. Benchmarks performed by ElcomSoft demonstrate that ATI Radeon HD 5970 accelerated password recovery works up to 20 times faster than Core i7-960, Intel s current top of the line CPU unit. The password recovery speed of the new sub-thousand dollar video card from ATI exceeds the performance the vet shed of enterprise-grade Nvidia Tesla solutions priced at $10,000. When password recovery the vet shed is concerned, ATI Radeon HD 5970 provides twice the performance of Nvidia Tesla for a fraction of the price. ElcomSoft is looking forward to testing its software on the upcoming the vet shed Nvidia Tesla (S2050/S2070), which will be available in Q2/Q3 2010, as well as Nvidia s Next Generation GPU architecture code named Fermi, which is claimed to surpass anything announced by Nvidia s competitors.   the vet shed

well the vet shed the only people who are going to care if the card can crack passwords easily are those cracking passwords, and believe me, very few of those people will have legitimate reasons for doing so. __________________ the vet shed
All the vet shed cards/processors can crack passwords....all this is saying is Ati > Nvidia and > Intel at this compute the vet shed application....which also suggests it is > than them at other similar compute the vet shed operations. It also goes into value for performance the vet shed with regards to a < $1,000 card 2x > $10,000. I don't think the main issue with this article is what that computational power is used for, it is how well the 'gaming' company is owning the company the vet shed that boasts 24/7 about GPU computing in a real world example. And what I find funny about you, is as soon as a new Fermi comes out and perhaps they get it to 'own' Ati, you will be all over its performance and suddenly the fact that it is a password cracker, won't matter....boo hoo.
From developer's point of view NVIDIA has always been superior. Ease of use, quality of SDK and drivers, thorough documentation. Apparently, the vet shed they have invested a lot in developing, promoting and supporting CUDA. Developing software for ATI cards is (okay was) a nightmare. In 2009 ATI quietly introduced two changes in their drivers which made previously perfectly functional and compatible applications to crash (if you are curious: with Catalyst the vet shed 9.2 or 9.3 they've the vet shed changed names of supporting DLLs bundled with drivers; with Catalyst 9.9 or 9.10 they've the vet shed probably changed format the vet shed of underlying binary so that anything compiled the vet shed and linked in with earlier versions caused a driver to crash). And there was almost no documentation with 1.x ATI SDKs. But when it comes to pure mathematical performance (that is, not counting memory transactions) the vet shed ATI cards are faster than NVIDIA counterparts, usually by far. Sometimes by very far. That's why we've been supporting them for more than a year already. That's true.
