Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool (LACT) gets advanced profile management

Advanced profile management is a fun sounding new feature for the popular Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool (LACT) app.

With the 0.8.0 release this allows you to set various conditions to trigger a specific profile. So you could have a few conditions set for specific games and apps, to then have a profile activate. These profiles can be exported and imported to share too.

There's also a new process monitor and for NVIDIA GPUs you can now see GPU voltage, GPU hotspot temperature, VRAM temperature (GDDR6 only). Better support for the power-profiles-daemon to prevent conflicts and improvements for the Flatpak too.

The developer also left some important notes for the release:

• RDNA4 GPUs now require kernel 6.14 or later for overclocking to work. Older kernels had broken clockspeed control behaviour that LACT contained a workaround for, and this workaround has now been dropped. See #599 for more info.
• There is a new workaround for RDNA3 constantly reporting thermal throttling, it should now be reported only when it's actually affecting performance.
• If multiple Vulkan drivers are available (such as both RADV and AMDVLK), LACT will now let you select between them on the software page.
