Cuda Cores and Jack the Ripper?

I am not new to Linux, or Debian but I have been working within Kali just to learn how to crack a password from an old HD of mine that I have forgotten the Password of to recover a few lost files. John the ripper finds 2 but leaves me hanging forever searching and finding the 3td as it says. I am running a pretty standard machine here with a A-10 chip and an additional Plugin small

I might not have enough graphics power to break my password faster. I have played with John many times to let you know so I do know most commands. I read alot about how important cuda cores are on pentesting. What is the average

needed to do things in a timely manner?
Thank You
