What should be the best command to get the best out of this 2 cards?

Quadro FX 2700M
Cores: 48
Clock: 1,3Ghz

Quadro FX 570
Cores: 16
Clock: 0,92Ghz

I know those aren't realy been made for this kind of things, but I they can still be used isn't?

They are usable... Not fast, but usable.

Low thread/block counts will be fine - you don't have a huge chip to fill with threads.

Play with the numbers & let me know what you get. I expect the FX570 will be slower than a typical SSE2 optimized CPU, but the 2700M should be tolerable (though may still be slower than a CPU).

Do you know a good program to see how fast my CPU will do it?
Also does the M stand for xx.xxxx?

For the FX 2700M I have the follow (for the best results currently)
Threads: 128
Blocks: 66

Hashes loaded: 40084
Hash Type: MD5

Result:
Step Rate: 33.7M ~ 33.9M /s
Search Rate: 13526318M/sec

Currently have Vista installed on the machine with the FX570, also on someway the application crashs when trying to crack.
(loading of the hashes goes while)

The app doesn't behave well currently with a fully sorted hash list as an input. Try randomizing the list slightly. That can resolve crashes when sorting hashes - I'm aware of the issue but haven't fixed it yet.

Hmm the vista machine just have 1 hash in the file ;-) So it can't be sorted..

Ah, that shouldn't be hanging on "sorting hashes" then. Can you reproduce the issue consistently?

yes, every time I start it, it crash.

It seems like it's only that file, I tried another file which already exists before those crashes and that one works fine.

(the blocks/threads where switched in the results of 2700M (edited now to the right one))
