LACT 0.8.4 Brings Improved Overclocking UI For GPUs On Linux

([Hardware] 4 Hours Ago LACT 0.8.4)


In the absence of any official GUI control panel from AMD or Intel for their graphics cards on Linux, LACT remains a popular choice particularly for AMD Radeon Linux gamers/enthusiasts to manage various aspects of their GPU from a convenient UI. LACT also supports Intel GPUs and some features on NVIDIA GPUs too. Out today is LACT 0.8.4 for further enhancing this third-party GPU driver user interface.

LACT 0.8.4 brings various user interface improvements to the GPU overclocking page. With NVIDIA GPUs on their Linux driver having NVIDIA-Settings at least for managing GPU overclocking, this LACT functionality is most useful for AMD Radeon graphics cards that otherwise are left to overclocking via the command-line.

The OC page received the most changes but other aspects of the LACT UI were also enhanced.

LACT 0.8.4 also offers Docker packaging for those interested, more power sensors are now exposed for AMD hardware, more efficient statistics fetching for AMD, and a variety of other fixes and improvements.

Downloads and more details on this convenient open-source Linux GPU control panel via [1]LACT on GitHub .

After the Children of Israel had wandered for thirty-nine years
in the wilderness, Ferdinand Feghoot arrived to make sure that they would
finally find and enter the Promised Land. With him, he brought his
favorite robot, faithful old Yewtoo Artoo, to carry his gear and do
assorted camp chores.
The Israelites soon got over their initial fear of the robot and,
as the months passed, became very fond of him. Patriarchs took to
discussing abtruse theological problems with him, and each evening the
children all gathered to hear the many stories with which he was programmed.
Therefore it came as a great shock to them when, just as their journey was
ending, he abruptly wore out. Even Feghoot couldn't console them.
"It may be true, Ferdinand Feghoot," said Moses, "that our friend
Yewtoo Artoo was soulless, but we cannot believe it. He must be properly
interred. We cannot embalm him as do the Egyptians. Nor have we wood for
a coffin. But I do have a most splendid skin from one of Pharoah's own
cattle. We shall bury him in it."
Feghoot agreed. "Yes, let this be his last rusting place."
"Rusting?" Moses cried. "Not in this dreadful dry desert!"
"Ah!" sighed Ferdinand Feghoot, shedding a tear, "I fear you do not
realize the full significance of Pharoah's oxhide!"
