Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool (LACT) adds more NVIDIA GPU overclocking options

The Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool (LACT) is great for making a lot of GPU tweaks simple, with a new release v0.10.0 adding new options. When using the app you get nice detailed GPU information reporting and various options to monitor your GPU directly, and for those who want to push things a bit - the power options are nice too.

Quite an exciting release bringing with it PowerMizer mode and Voltage boost settings for NVIDIA GPUs, so you can really push your NVIDIA GPU to the maximum. There's also more NVIDIA sensor readings like hotspot sensors on Blackwell along with per-memory-chip temperature sensors.

You'll also see an improved initial setup experience that's simpler for new users, and support for GTT (GPU accessible system memory) usage on AMD GPUs too. The developer said that last one is "particularly useful on iGPUs to see if you are hitting the size limit when running VRAM-heavy applications".

Quoting: DwayneThe VF (voltage freq) curve editor button looks good. Does it work on Nvidia though?

Quoting: BrokattI prefer CoreCtrl but I only use it to set a fan curve. Don't do much GPU tweaking these days.
