In the accepted answer a quote from the bitcoin wiki calculates performance as the number of ALU's times the clock speed so you could try using that.</p>

<p>Is there an equation that estimate the hashing rate of a GPU from its specs: cores, clock, ... ?</p>

<p>I need this because the <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison" rel="nofollow">hardware comparison list</a> is not complete and I am considering buying a new video card. There are cards in the market that are not in the list.</p>

Is there an equation that estimate the hashing rate of a GPU from its specs: cores, clock, ... ?

I need this because the [hardware comparison list](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison) is not complete and I am considering buying a new video card. There are cards in the market that are not in the list.
