I presume your hashes are in the order of 500,000 iterations. If not,
that's too slow.

It's plausible. My (REALLY weak) GPU, a GT650M, outperforms my i7-3615QM
2.30GHz by 20% (also 8 HT) or so. Heck, even my ridiculous "Intel HD
Graphics 4000" can do half the speed of my CPU!

Ensure you buy an nvidia with Maxwell (9xx) or Pascal (10xx) chipset. As
you've seen, even a low budget one will be way faster than your CPU.
