Changelog
[0.7.0] - 2025-01-14
This release has a number of new features and bugfixes, but the two biggest ones are:
-
Intel GPU support!
Thanks to @Citizen839X who generously provided an Intel ARC A380 card for development, LACT now has support for Intel GPUs!
 |
 |
Currently supported features are:
- GPU monitoring: power usage, frequency info, VRAM usage, temperature, fan speed and throttling info. Fan speed and temperature readings require a recent kernel version.
- Power limit configuration
- GPU clockspeed configuration within the default limits
Not supported due to driver limitations:
-
Overclocking (GPU clockspeed above the default limit)
-
Fan control
-
VRAM clockspeed monitoring and configuration
-
Automatic profile switching
It is now possible to automatically switch between settings profiles based on what processes are currently running, or on the gamemode daemon being active.
Process profile rules utilize the copes library from the CoreCtrl project, which subscribes to process spawn and exit events, allowing the profile processing to be lightweight and not require a full scan of the process list.
Profiles can also be activated when the feral gamemode daemon is active.
