Re: Bitcoin puzzle transaction ~32 BTC prize to who solves it
I'm curious about how much the RTX 5090 outperforms the RTX 4090 in Bitcoin private key cracking speed. In programs like bitcrack, keyhunt, and vanbitcracken, the 4090 reaches around 4 Gkeys/s. So far, I haven’t found specific data on the RTX 5000 series for this niche test. However, I came across a post on the Hashcat forum suggesting that in one mode, the 5090 might be up to three times faster than the 4090. The best way to get a definitive answer is probably to ask on that forum—some users likely already have 5000-series GPUs, whether it's a 5090, 5080, or even a 5070.
RTX 5090: ~9600 h160/s when searching a specific key interval. Or, 27 GK/s if you only want to look at the public keys
Almost 10! – An impressive result! It turns out that the 5090 surpasses the 4090 by almost 2.5 times. But why? After all, the difference between the 4090 and 3090 wasn’t that significant, just like between the 2080 Ti and 1080 Ti. At the very least, it's comparable to the difference between the 1080 Ti and 4090. I’ve had experience with the 1080 Ti, 2080 Ti, 3080 Ti, and now the 4090, but I’ve never seen such drastic jumps—at most, a performance increase of about 1.5 times.
