For non-graphical computing (e.g. password cracking or BTC mining), it
is my experience that ATI/AMD cards are significantly faster.

I'm sure it does to a point, but it doesn't appear to be as important
as the speed of the card itself. Those writing the algorithms running
on the cards will be able to answer more assertively.
