LACT 0.8 GPU Configuration & Monitoring Tool Introduces More Features

([Hardware] 6 Hours Ago LACT 0.8)


While a number of Linux desktop users have expressed disappointment over Intel and AMD not providing any GUI for their GPU driver settings and similar functionality like they do under Windows, there are a number of third-party open-source GUI programs for managing graphics driver settings. One of the most capable solutions is LACT for GPU configuration and monitoring. Out today is LACT 0.8 with more features now in place.

The LACT program provides a GUI for viewing information about your GPU, overclocking your graphics card, manipulating fan controls, viewing historical performance/power/thermal data, and various other features akin to what is offered under Windows. LACT works across NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs though some features are limited to select drivers/hardware.

LACT 0.8 provides the latest features for this program written in Rust and leveraging the GTK4 toolkit. LACT 0.8 offers more advanced profile management, a built-in process monitor that shows GPU usage and vRAM statistics, more NVIDIA metrics are implemented, Flatpak integration enhancements, and a variety of other changes.

Here's a look at the new LACT Process Monitor in action:

One fine day, the bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus,
and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops -- a few
people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next
stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a
wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said,
"Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.
Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically
meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't
happy about it. Well, the next day the same thing happened -- Big John got on
again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the
one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started
losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he
could stand it no longer. He signed up for bodybuilding courses, karate, judo,
and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong;
what's more, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus
and said "Big John doesn't pay!," the driver stood up, glared back at the
passenger, and screamed, "And why not?"
With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a
bus pass."
