Split-key vanity generation is much slower
I've read this before, but it's not what I experience. I just tested it, for both vanitygen and oclvanitygen, and I see now difference in speed (key/s).
and doesn't enable you to search for multiple addresses at once.
It does, but they'll all work with the same public key. I use it to search for either one of several possible prefixes. For example: 1NAME 1Name 1name.
It's not as fun as just taking a list with 8000 long words as input though.
I can't speak for your experience, only the facts. Split key generation is slower because of the added process. Your example of using the same public key for multiple split keys also restricts your search, meaning you cannot perform any other vanity searches not using that specific public key alongside it. That makes split key generation slow and expensive to the point where I don't believe it makes sense for individuals to utilize it, or pooled miners to attempt profits mining vanity addresses. It's a lose lose situation for everyone involved.
I have been looking through the pages and pages of this post again.
I can't seem to find a list that I thought I remembered, is there a complete one that lists all the current cards and their speeds?
Or to make my life easier, if cost was no object what is the fastest card for generation?
Looking for 1 card not a rig.
Thanks,

The fastest and
most efficient card for use with vanitygen is hands down the R9 Nano. Unless you can get a 480 to work, which I have yet to see outside of the claim on the wiki.
